MZ1LW960HMJP-00003 Samsung PM963 960GB PCIe Gen 3 M.2 22110 Server SSD

High-Density M.2 NVMe Datacenter SSD for boot and read-optimised tiers with the MZ1LW960HMJP-00003

MZ1LW960HMJP-00003 is a Samsung PM963 datacenter SSD engineered for M.2 22110 M-Key platforms where boot, cache, and metadata acceleration must coexist with strict space and power constraints. By using PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe, MZ1LW960HMJP-00003 provides low-latency storage access that aligns well with modern server CPU platforms running hypervisors, container hosts, and scale-out services that depend on fast reads for consistent node responsiveness.

The 960GB TLC NAND architecture in MZ1LW960HMJP-00003 targets read-optimised duty cycles, delivering up to 2000 MB/s sequential read and up to 430K 4K read IOPS to accelerate OS boot storms, catalog lookups, and frequently accessed datasets. Write behaviour is tuned for controlled logging and metadata updates with up to 1200 MB/s sequential write and up to 40K 4K write IOPS, while endurance at 0.8 DWPD (3 years) and 1370 TBW supports predictable lifecycle planning in 24/7 environments. Power Loss Protection (PLP) helps protect in-flight data during unexpected power events, and a 2.0M hours MTBF rating supports enterprise reliability targets.

Why Choose the MZ1LW960HMJP-00003?

MZ1LW960HMJP-00003 is selected when density-to-performance is the primary design constraint: it enables high IOPS per watt in M.2 bays, preserves front-access drive slots for capacity tiers, and scales cleanly across clustered nodes. The combination of PCIe Gen3 NVMe efficiency, PLP, and predictable endurance makes it well-suited for standardized server images and repeatable deployment profiles.

Samsung designs the PM963 line with a focus on datacenter qualification, consistent firmware behaviour, and sustained operation under mixed workloads, supporting integration into modern rack and edge systems that require reliability, power discipline, and operational continuity.

Key Applications:

• Hypervisor and OS boot SSD
• Metadata and cache acceleration
• Read-optimised virtualisation storage
• Edge and embedded server storage
• Scale-out node local NVMe
