Samsung MZ-PLK3T20 NVMe PCIe Solid State Drive

The Samsung MZ-PLK3T20 is a PM1725-series 3.2 TB NVMe PCIe solid-state drive in a half-height, half-length (HHHL) add-in card form factor, built for high-end data-center servers. It uses a PCIe 3.0 host interface with x8 lanes and the NVMe protocol, housing Samsung's 3D V-NAND TLC flash arranged in a multi-die stack to deliver dense capacity and robust reliability in a single PCIe card. Samsung rates the PM1725 3.2 TB model at endurance of 10 DWPD for five years, underscoring its suitability for sustained, write-heavy workloads. Common enterprise use cases include databases, virtualization, analytics, and other data-center workloads that demand high throughput and low latency, with the PM1725 family designed for server-level reliability rather than client storage, suitable for transaction-heavy OLTP databases, large-scale virtualized environments, and big data analytics pipelines. As an HHHL card, it installs into PCIe expansion slots in compatible servers, delivering high-density storage without occupying traditional 2.5-inch drive bays. The MZ-PLK3T20 designation corresponds to Samsung's PM1725-series 3.2 TB NVMe SSD.
