Samsung MZQL23T8HCLS-00A07

Overview

The Samsung MZQL23T8HCLS-00A07 is a high-capacity U.2 solid state drive designed for demanding data center environments. It offers 3.84 TB of V-NAND TLC flash storage and connects via a PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe interface, delivering fast sequential read speeds up to 6,800 MB/s and write speeds up to 4,000 MB/s. This combination of capacity and speed makes it well suited for handling large databases, media files, and machine learning datasets efficiently.

Key features

• High-speed PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe interface ensures rapid data transfer and low latency for intensive workloads.
• Samsung Elpis controller optimizes performance and manages V-NAND cells for consistent throughput.
• Strong endurance with a 1.0 drive write per day rating over five years, supporting sustained heavy use.
• Advanced AES-XTS 256-bit encryption combined with TCG Opal compliance protects sensitive data without extra hardware.
• Low power consumption with approximately 3.5 W at idle and 13.5 W during active writes, aiding efficient power management in server racks.
• High input/output operations per second (IOPS) with up to 1,000,000 random read and 180,000 random write IOPS, maintaining responsiveness under peak demand.
• Robust reliability backed by a two million hour mean time between failures (MTBF) rating, providing confidence for long-term deployment.

Connectivity and compatibility

This SSD uses the U.2 2.5 inch form factor and connects through a PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe interface, making it compatible with modern server and data center platforms that support U.2 drives. Its interface supports the latest PCIe 4.0 standard, ensuring it can fully leverage the bandwidth available on current-generation motherboards and storage controllers.

Performance and reliability

The drive’s high sequential and random IOPS speeds enable it to handle a wide range of workloads, from large file transfers to small, random data requests common in virtualized environments and real-time analytics. Its endurance rating and two million hour MTBF provide assurance that it can sustain heavy use over time without compromising data integrity or performance.

Ideal uses and environments

This SSD fits well in data centers, cloud infrastructure, hyper-converged nodes, and AI inference systems where fast, reliable storage is critical. Its balance of capacity, speed, and power efficiency makes it a strong choice for IT professionals looking to upgrade or expand storage in environments that demand both performance and security.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
