Samsung PM1733 3.84TB U.2 NVMe Enterprise SSD

The Samsung PM1733 3.84TB (MPN: MZWLJ3T8HBLS-00007) is a U.2 2.5-inch NVMe enterprise SSD built on Samsung's sixth-generation V-NAND technology and paired with an in-house NVMe controller. Operating over a PCIe 4.0 x4 host interface, it delivers sequential read throughput of up to 7,000 MB/s and sequential write throughput of up to 3,800 MB/s, making it one of the highest-bandwidth U.2 form-factor drives available at its capacity point. The drive implements the NVMe 1.3 command set and supports dual-port operation, enabling high-availability configurations in multi-path server environments without a single point of failure at the storage device level.

Designed explicitly for mixed-use server workloads, the PM1733 3.84TB carries an endurance rating of 1 Drive Write Per Day (DWPD) over a five-year rated service life, translating to approximately 7,008 TBW. Random 4K read performance reaches up to 1,000,000 IOPS and random 4K write performance up to 200,000 IOPS, sustaining low-latency access under heavy queue-depth conditions typical of virtualized and cloud-scale infrastructure. Power loss protection circuitry safeguards in-flight data during unexpected power interruptions, and the drive supports end-to-end data path protection (T10 DIF/DIX) to maintain integrity from host to NAND.

The PM1733 integrates Samsung's SmartSSD management features, including SMART telemetry, thermal throttling controls, and sanitize operations (cryptographic erase and block erase), all accessible via standard NVMe management interfaces. Its 15mm z-height U.2 (SFF-8639) connector ensures broad compatibility with standard 2.5-inch hot-swap bays across major x86 server platforms. Introduced in Q1 2020 and continuing to see strong demand, the PM1733 remains a widely deployed solution for database acceleration, virtualization hosts, and high-frequency analytics platforms that require a balance of sustained throughput and write endurance without the premium footprint of an all-write-optimized tier.

Ideal for

• Relational and NoSQL database acceleration requiring sustained mixed read/write IOPS with predictable low latency under concurrent multi-tenant workloads
• VMware vSphere and KVM virtualization hosts where multiple VMs compete for storage I/O and dual-port failover ensures continuous availability
• Cloud-scale object and block storage nodes in OpenStack Cinder or Ceph OSD configurations that benefit from high sequential bandwidth and per-drive path redundancy
• High-frequency analytics and data warehouse query acceleration where large sequential scan throughput directly reduces time-to-insight for BI platforms
• Enterprise Kubernetes persistent volume backends requiring high-throughput block storage with end-to-end data integrity (T10 DIF) for stateful containerized applications
• Edge and colocation compute deployments consolidating storage-heavy workloads into 2.5-inch hot-swap bays where PCIe 4.0 bandwidth future-proofs the platform investment
