Samsung PM897 is a 1.92TB 2.5-inch SATA III enterprise SSD – MZ7L31T9HBNA00B7C

The PM897 is Samsung’s enterprise/data center SATA SSD line, positioned as a “read-intensive” drive for servers and storage systems where most workloads are reads with occasional writes (as opposed to write-heavy database logging, for example).

Key specs for this model:

• Capacity: 1.92TB (1,920GB)
• Interface: SATA 6Gb/s (SATA III), backward-compatible with SATA II/I
• Form factor: 2.5″, 7mm height — fits standard data center drive bays
• NAND: Samsung’s in-house V-NAND TLC (Triple-Level Cell)
• Controller: Samsung in-house controller
• Sequential speeds: up to ~560 MB/s read / ~530 MB/s write
• Random IOPS: ~97,000 read / ~60,000 write
• Endurance: rated for read-intensive workloads (typically around 1 DWPD — drive writes per day — for this class, though exact endurance/TBW should be confirmed on Samsung’s spec sheet for this exact SKU)
• Reliability features: typically includes power-loss protection, end-to-end data protection, and AES 256-bit encryption (self-encrypting drive support) — standard for this enterprise line

Heads up — the direct product page for this exact SKU has been retired by Samsung (it now redirects to the general Datacenter SSD overview, which says “As of July 31, 2025, this page is no longer available”). Here’s the official spec data I could pull from Samsung’s current PM897/PM897a family page, which covers this model:

Samsung PM897 (MZ7L31T9HBNA-00B7C) — Data Sheet Summary

A couple of notes:

• Samsung’s marketing copy elsewhere quotes 3 DWPD endurance for the PM897 family — that’s notably higher than the “1 DWPD” read-intensive tier I mentioned earlier; the official spec sheet confirms 3 DWPD / 5 years, so consider that the more demanding-write-friendly end of the read-centric tier.
