SAMSUNG 883 DCT 960GB 2.5 SATA SATA 3 Enterprise Solid State Drive (SSD)

The Samsung 883 DCT 960GB Enterprise SSD (model MZ-7LH960NE) is a 2.5-inch SATA III solid-state drive purpose-built for data centre and server environments that demand sustained performance and high reliability around the clock. Designed around a 6 Gb/s SATA interface, the 883 DCT delivers sequential read speeds of up to 560 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 520 MB/s, keeping throughput-intensive server tasks moving efficiently. For workloads characterised by a high volume of small-block operations, random read performance reaches up to 98,000 IOPS while random write performance reaches up to 28,000 IOPS, providing the quality of service (QoS) consistency that mixed-workload data centre deployments require. Under the hood, the drive uses Samsung 3D MLC V-NAND memory components, a NAND architecture that layers memory cells vertically to combine greater storage density with improved endurance relative to earlier planar NAND designs. The 883 DCT ships with end-to-end data protection that maintains data integrity across the entire transfer path, and power-loss protection circuitry helps guard in-flight data should an unexpected power interruption occur — both critical safeguards for production server environments. The 2.5-inch form factor slots directly into standard server drive bays and hot-swap cages. At a weight of approximately 70 g, it imposes minimal mechanical load on high-density storage trays. Samsung backs the drive with a 5-year limited warranty with an endurance rating of 0.8 Drive Writes Per Day (DWPD), making it appropriate for read-intensive to moderately write-intensive mixed enterprise workloads.
