- New PullCondition Levels Explained
The product has been mounted in a brand new system (e.g. server), then removed from the system, before entering service. These products may have some hours of usage due to system build time / burn-in / testing etc. New Pulls are guaranteed to have at least 95% (often 99%) of their service life remaining , they may show signs of being physically mounted and dismounted. All handling is performed by trained technicians, taking full ESD precautions.

Description
Samsung 3.84TB M.2 22x110mm NVMe / Gen4 / Read Intensive / Enterprise SSD / PCIe 4.0 x4 / PM9A3 Series / MZ1L23T8HBLA / MZ-1L23T80 / TCG Opal 2.0 / TLC / Solid State Drive - New Pull
110mm length. Most laptops do NOT support this size. Verify before ordering. Our team can help.
Why Choose This SSD?
- Vendor-Agnostic Design: No dependency on proprietary Dell/HP/Lenovo firmware—works natively with standard Windows/Linux drivers for a plug-and-play experience in custom gaming rigs.
- Elite Gaming Performance: Delivers enterprise-grade consistency with 6,800 MB/s sequential read speeds, significantly outperforming popular consumer drives like the Crucial P3 Plus (~5,000 MB/s) or the older SK Hynix Gold P31 (~3,500 MB/s). Unlike consumer QLC drives that throttle during large game installs, this enterprise TLC drive maintains peak speed without performance drops.
- Cost-Effective Upgrade: Get massive 3.84TB storage for your Steam library and enterprise-grade endurance (1.0 DWPD) at a fraction of the cost of "gaming-branded" flagships.
- Future-Proof: PCIe Gen4 x4 readiness ensures lightning-fast load times and full support for DirectStorage-enabled titles.
Note: Verify your motherboard M.2 slot supports 22110mm length (most high-end Z690/Z790/X570 boards do, but check your manual). This drive is physically longer than standard 2280 sticks.
Speed Comparison Data Sheet
| Feature | Samsung PM9A3 (MZ-1L23T80) | Crucial P3 Plus (Consumer Gen4) | SK Hynix Gold P31 (Consumer Gen3) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seq. Read Speed | ~6,800 MB/s | ~5,000 MB/s | ~3,500 MB/s |
| Seq. Write Speed | ~4,000 MB/s (Sustained) | ~3,600 - 4,200 MB/s (Burst)* | ~3,200 MB/s |
| NAND Type | TLC (Enterprise Grade) | QLC (Consumer Grade) | TLC (Consumer Grade) |
| Sustained Load | No Throttling | Slows down after cache fills | Good efficiency, lower speed cap |
*Note: Consumer drives like the Crucial P3/P3 Plus use a "cache" to hit high write speeds; once that cache fills up (e.g., downloading a 100GB game), speeds often drop drastically. The PM9A3 is designed to maintain its speed indefinitely.
High-Performance
PCI Express Gen 4 x4 interface delivers up to twice the read performance of PCIe Gen 3 SSDs, and dedicated hardware accelerators for three times the random write performance of the previous generation.
Enterprise Features
- Protects your data confidentiality and integrity with TCG encryption management
- Secure boot
- End-to-end data protection
- Power loss protection circuitry
Data Center Needs
Data center architects face challenging requirements when delivering reliable computing and storage resources at the lowest total cost. Data center servers require high levels of I/O performance to keep their CPUs fully utilized, and high system density, to minimize total cost. The storage systems that supply that I/O performance need to deliver consistent performance and latency to all tenant virtual machines and containers 24/7, 365 days a year.
Samsung provides data centers with solid-state drives (SSDs) that deliver exceptional performance in public cloud applications, such as infrastructure as a service (IaaS), content delivery networks (CDN), shared hosting, No SQL databases, and cloud data storage. Compared to SATA SSDs, these high-performing NVMe SSDs deliver more than ten times the read performance and lower latency, while still maintaining SATA cost and low-power consumption per IOP.
As a pioneer in NVMe SSDs, Samsung has been delivering the advantages of industry standard NVMe performance longer than anyone else. Samsung also has the added advantage of being a vertically integrated supplier of SSDs, enabling the highest levels of quality and support.
