MZ-QL23T800 Samsung PM9A3 3.84TB PCIe Gen 4 2.5" Workstation SSD

High-Performance 2.5" U.2 PCIe Gen4 NVMe Enterprise SSD engineered for data centre throughput with the MZ-QL23T800

The MZ-QL23T800 is a Samsung PM9A3 enterprise data centre SSD designed to deliver consistent NVMe latency and high queue-depth throughput in 2.5" U.2 server bays, aligning with PCIe Gen4 backplanes and modern CPU platforms that depend on parallel I/O paths for virtualized and database-heavy tiers. With 3.84TB of TLC NAND capacity, the MZ-QL23T800 supports dense boot, primary, or read-intensive storage pools where fast recovery, predictable read performance, and low overhead are operational priorities.

Architecturally, the MZ-QL23T800 maximizes PCIe Gen4 bandwidth for sequential streaming and reduces tail latency for 4K workloads, enabling higher VM consolidation and faster index scans without over-provisioning drive count. Enterprise features such as Power Loss Protection, SMART/TRIM support, and WWN simplify lifecycle management in clustered deployments, while hardware-based encryption integrates with data-at-rest policies across mixed application environments.

Why Choose the MZ-QL23T800?

The MZ-QL23T800 provides an efficient density-to-performance profile for 1U/2U servers by pairing Gen4 NVMe performance with enterprise reliability targets, including 1 DWPD endurance and high MTBF for sustained duty cycles. It scales cleanly from single-drive boot roles to multi-drive U.2 arrays, supporting predictable service levels in read-intensive and mixed workloads while keeping power and thermal envelopes within typical data centre constraints.

Samsung designs the PM9A3 family with a focus on data integrity, telemetry, and long-duration stability, aligning the MZ-QL23T800 with contemporary security and compliance requirements. Support for SED, TCG Opal 2.0, and AES-256 complements end-to-end data protection to reduce operational risk in shared infrastructure.

Key Applications:

• Virtualization read-intensive tiers
• Database and analytics read acceleration
• Workstation and server boot/primary storage
