MZ7KM480HMHQ-00005 Samsung SM863a 480GB SATA 2.5" Server SSD

Enterprise 2.5in Hot-Swap SATA SSD for boot and read-intensive tiers with the MZ7KM480HMHQ-00005

The MZ7KM480HMHQ-00005 is a 2.5in enterprise SATA SSD engineered for predictable latency in boot/OS volumes and read-intensive server tiers, where platform stability matters more than peak PCIe bandwidth. In CPU-dense virtualisation hosts and general-purpose storage pools, the SATA 6Gb/s interface provides broad compatibility across mainstream server backplanes while enabling straightforward hot-swap service procedures.

Built on Samsung MLC NAND with a 512MB cache, the MZ7KM480HMHQ-00005 targets consistent small-block responsiveness, delivering up to 95,000 4K read IOPS and up to 19,000 4K write IOPS, with sequential throughput up to 510MB/s read and 485MB/s write. For expansion planning, the MZ7KM480HMHQ-00005 preserves PCIe lanes for accelerators and high-speed networking while keeping boot devices and read-heavy datasets on a proven SATA storage architecture.

Why Choose the MZ7KM480HMHQ-00005?

The MZ7KM480HMHQ-00005 provides an efficient density-to-performance profile for fleet deployments that require 24/7 operation, deterministic serviceability, and secure data handling. With 3.516 DWPD over 5 years (3,080 TBW) and 2.0M hours MTBF, it supports scalable rollouts in mixed workloads where endurance headroom and operational consistency reduce maintenance risk.

Samsung designs the SM863a class with an enterprise-first focus on controller firmware maturity, power integrity, and qualification discipline aligned to modern data centre standards. Integrated power loss protection and AES-256 hardware encryption enable the MZ7KM480HMHQ-00005 to fit into compliance-driven environments without adding software overhead.

Key Applications:

• Boot and OS volumes
• Read-intensive database tiers
• Virtualisation hosts
• General-purpose enterprise storage pools
• Secure multi-tenant infrastructure
