MZ7KM240HMHQ-00005 Samsung SM863a 240GB SATA 2.5" SSD

Enterprise 2.5-inch SATA SSD for OS and read-centric tiers with the MZ7KM240HMHQ-00005

MZ7KM240HMHQ-00005 is a 2.5-inch enterprise SATA SSD engineered for predictable boot/OS performance and read-heavy service profiles in CPU-dense rack servers where storage compatibility and power efficiency are critical. In SATA-based platforms, it delivers consistent latency for system volumes, hypervisor boot banks, and application binaries while keeping thermal and power budgets controlled.

Built on Samsung SM863a architecture with MLC NAND and a 512 MB cache, MZ7KM240HMHQ-00005 focuses on sustained QoS rather than peak throughput, supporting mixed queue-depth behavior typical of virtualized hosts. The SATA 6Gb/s interface ensures broad backplane and HBA compatibility, while random performance up to 90k IOPS read supports metadata and small-block access patterns. For write bursts such as caching, journaling, and logging inside SATA tiers, MZ7KM240HMHQ-00005 provides up to 450 MB/s sequential write and endurance rated at 3.516 DWPD over 5 years, aligning with controlled write amplification and long service intervals.

Why Choose the MZ7KM240HMHQ-00005?

MZ7KM240HMHQ-00005 is selected when an enterprise needs a stable, low-risk SATA SSD for standardized server builds and lifecycle-managed fleets. It balances density and serviceability in hot-swap 2.5-inch bays, supports reliable scale-out deployment across identical nodes, and targets operational continuity with power-loss protection and AES-256 encryption for secure data-at-rest environments.

Samsung designs the SM863a family around data center reliability, emphasizing firmware stability, controlled latency, and validated behavior under continuous duty cycles. With power-loss protection, 2.0M hours MTBF, and encryption capabilities aligned to modern security baselines, the platform fits standardized procurement and compliance-driven infrastructures.

Key Applications:

• Boot and OS volumes for rack servers
• Hypervisor and appliance system partitions
• Read-heavy web and application hosting
• SATA-tier caching, logging, and journaling
• Encrypted data-at-rest server deployments
