Know before you buy
While it is technically compatible with systems supporting M.2 NVMe, this drive is specifically engineered for enterprise and data center environments. It is optimized for consistent, 24/7 heavy workloads rather than typical consumer gaming or desktop tasks.
The 1.3 DWPD rating indicates the drive's endurance, meaning you can overwrite the entire 1.92TB capacity 1.3 times every day for the duration of the warranty period. This makes it highly durable for write-intensive server applications.
Because this is an enterprise-grade drive designed for high-performance data centers, it can generate significant heat under sustained loads. We recommend ensuring your system has adequate airflow or a dedicated M.2 heatsink to maintain optimal performance and longevity.
The Samsung 983 DCT uses the M.2 2280 form factor, which is the standard size for most modern motherboards. However, ensure your motherboard supports the PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe interface to achieve the drive's full rated speeds.
This drive features a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 2,000,000 hours, which is significantly higher than most consumer-grade drives. It is built with enterprise-grade components designed to handle mission-critical data with a much lower risk of failure.
