About the Samsung PM897 960 GB 2.5" SATA Mixed-Use SSD
The Samsung PM897 960 GB SSD delivers sequential read speeds up to 560 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 530 MB/s, making it a high-performance option for demanding enterprise workloads. This 2.5-inch drive connects via SATA 6 Gb/s interface and measures just 7 mm in height, fitting seamlessly into standard datacenter infrastructure and compact server configurations.
Built on Samsung V-NAND TLC technology, the PM897 (part number MZ7L3960HBNA-00A07) is engineered as a mixed-use drive that balances sequential and random performance. With random read performance reaching 98,000 IOPS and random write performance of 60,000 IOPS at 4K block size, this drive handles transactional workloads efficiently. The 960 GB capacity provides substantial storage density, while its 3 DWPD endurance rating and 5,256 TBW total bytes written specification ensure multi-year reliability in production environments. Power consumption remains modest at 4.0 W typical active draw and 1.5 W at idle, reducing operational costs. Samsung integrated AES 256-bit hardware encryption alongside TCG Opal 2.0 and IEEE 1667 security standards, delivering robust data protection. End-to-end data protection and power-loss protection mechanisms safeguard critical information against corruption and unexpected shutdowns.
Typical Enterprise Deployment Scenarios
- General-purpose server storage in mixed workload environments requiring balanced read and write performance
- Database acceleration and OLTP (online transaction processing) systems where random IOPS matter as much as sequential throughput
- Virtual machine datastores in consolidated hypervisor environments benefiting from the drive's compact 2.5-inch form factor
- Content delivery and web application servers needing reliable, power-efficient storage with strong encryption compliance
- Backup and archival systems where endurance specifications and multi-year lifespan reduce total cost of ownership

Frequently Asked Questions about Samsung PM897 960 GB 2.5" SATA Mixed-Use SSD
What workloads is the Samsung PM897 960 GB 2.5" SATA Mixed-Use SSD designed for?
Enterprise mixed-use and Mixed-Use workloads — including transactional databases, AI inference data, virtualisation, hyperconverged storage, and analytics. Endurance is rated for sustained 24/7 operation, not consumer-style burst use.
Will this SSD work in my Dell / HPE / Lenovo server?
Most enterprise SSDs ship in vendor-branded variants tied to a server QVL. Share your server model and we will quote the correctly-branded SKU (Dell-genuine, HPE-genuine, Lenovo-genuine) so support and firmware update tooling work without complaints.
Do you provide support support locally?
Yes. All units are sourced through distribution, so support registers cleanly with the manufacturer (Samsung / Kioxia / Solidigm / Micron / WD / Seagate) and DOA replacement is handled through our Dubai operations within 5 business days for UAE/GCC.
How do I get a quote for a bulk order?
Use the RFQ form on this page with your quantity and destination. For larger and project-scale orders we engage the vendor directly to prepare a tailored quote, and our pre-sales team follows up with a vendor-confirmed quote.
