Samsung MZ-WLL15TC 15TB PM1723b NVMe u.2 2.5inch Internal SSD

Description

The Samsung PM1723b (MZ-WLL15TC) is an enterprise-grade, ultra-high-capacity NVMe SSD designed for data centers, cloud infrastructure, and heavy-duty enterprise workloads. It stands out for its massive storage density and consistent performance in read-intensive environments.

Core Specifications

• Model Number: MZ-WLL15TC (Often associated with EMC/Dell OEM systems)

• Capacity: 15.36 TB

• Form Factor: 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF)

• Interface: NVMe 1.3 over PCIe Gen3 x4 (U.2)

• NAND Type: Samsung V-NAND 3-bit MLC (TLC)

Performance Metrics

This drive is optimized for high-speed data access and consistent throughput:

• Sequential Read: Up to 6,500 MB/s

• Sequential Write: Up to 3,800 MB/s

• Random Read (4KB): Up to 1,000,000 IOPS

• Random Write (4KB): Up to 130,000 IOPS

Key Enterprise Features

• U.2 Interface: Unlike standard M.2 drives, the U.2 form factor allows for better heat dissipation and hot-swapping capabilities in server chassis.

• Endurance: Rated at 1 DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day) over a 5-year period, making it highly reliable for continuous enterprise operations.

• Data Security: Features hardware-based AES-256 encryption and is often Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) capable, meeting FIPS 140-2 Level 2 standards.

• Power Loss Protection (PLP): Integrated tantalum capacitors ensure that data in the DRAM cache is safely written to the NAND in the event of an unexpected power failure.

Ideal Use Cases

• Big Data Analytics: Rapidly processing and reading massive datasets.

• Content Delivery Networks (CDN): High-capacity storage for streaming video and media.

• Virtualization: Hosting dozens of virtual machines on a single high-speed drive.

• Database Management: Reducing latency for high-traffic SQL or NoSQL databases.
