SamsungPM893 3.84TB SATA 6Gb/s V6 2.5" 7mm 1DWPD 5YR SED

The Samsung PM893 is a 3.84TB 2.5-inch SATA SSD for server and enterprise storage systems, with sequential speeds up to 550 MB/s read and 520 MB/s write; it suits deployments that need high-capacity storage over a SATA 6Gb/s connection.

Recommended For

• Server operators who need high-capacity 2.5-inch SATA storage for mainstream server workloads and value a drive designed for data-center use over NVMe-level throughput.
• Homelab and Proxmox users who want a 2.5-inch SATA SSD for VM or container storage in a system with compatible drive bays; community users report using PM893 drives in these roles.
• Server or storage administrators seeking a 3.84TB SATA drive for workloads that write regularly but stay within its rated 1 drive write per day over five years.
• IT teams choosing storage for server or NAS systems that need a 2.5-inch SATA drive and want enterprise-oriented data-protection features, including power-loss protection.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• In a SATA-equipped server, an administrator can use the PM893 for frequently accessed application files or service data; the large capacity keeps more of that data on solid-state storage without requiring an NVMe slot.
• For a homelab running several virtual machines or containers, it can serve as shared SATA storage for VM disks and service data; users get solid-state access in a standard 2.5-inch drive bay, subject to the server’s SATA and storage-controller support.
• In a NAS or home server, it can hold a large library of files that are read more often than rewritten—such as media, backups, or software images—while avoiding the slower access of hard-drive-only storage.
• For a SATA server that needs more solid-state capacity, it can add storage for read-heavy datasets or database files; it is best matched to workloads whose write volume stays within the drive’s rated endurance.
