SSD SM863 6.35 cm (2.5)

Optimise endurance 24/7 in write-intensive data centre environments

Escalating big data demands are requiring data centres to find new solutions for processing this high volume, velocity and variety of information. It has become critical for data centres to process enormous amounts of data faster with higher endurance and security. Because much of the huge daily volumes of data are unstructured, there is also an increasing need for big data analysis. With its high-level of performance, endurance, security and energy efficiency, the Samsung SM863 SSD is the ideal choice for online transaction processing (OLTP), and email and database servers.

Sustain endurance with advanced V-NAND technology

The SM863 is designed with innovative Samsung V-NAND technology to provide all the essentials for data centre environments - more capacity, speed, endurance and power efficiency. This revolutionary technology uses a unique architecture that stacks 32 layers of cells vertically, which reduces cell-to-cell interference typically found in planar NAND. As a result, the SM863 experiences less stress for optimal handling of heavy workloads and sustained data centre endurance.

Maintain consistent performance under demanding workloads

The massive amount of data created daily is rapidly increasing the demand for big data analysis, requiring faster random IOPS and lower latency to satisfy Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. The SM863 delivers exceptional sequential read / write speeds of up to 520 / 485 MB/s and 4 KB random read / write IOPS of up to 97,000 / 29,000.

Increase security with worry-free SED technology

The SM863 ensures constant data protection with Samsung's AES-256-bit, hardware-based Self-Encrypting Drive (SED). This encryption engine secures data without performance degradation often experienced with software-based encryption, resulting in better performance, security and manageability.

Ensure data integrity for improved reliability

SM863 demonstrates low probability of data corruption and maintains high level of data integrity. End-to-End Protection enables output data to remain consistent with input data along the entire data transfer path by detecting and remedying signal discrepancies in real time using the Error Correcting Code (ECC) engine.

Leverage the expertize of a technology leader in innovation

As a global leader in the SSD market, Samsung is a single-solution provider that actually designs and integrates crucial components of the SSD in-house, the DRAM, NAND flash, controller and firmware. Because Samsung has intimate knowledge of every component and part, and is a leader in V-NAND technology innovation, it can fine-tune each element at every stage of development and create perfect synergy.
