Specifications

About the MZ-7L31T900

MZ-7L31T900 is Samsung's mainstream 1.92TB enterprise SATA 6Gb/s 2.5-inch solid state drive in the PM893 data center lineup. Built with Samsung 128-layer sixth-generation V-NAND TLC flash and an in-house controller, it represents the standard read-intensive storage tier rated at 1.3 drive writes per day (DWPD). It succeeded the PM883 series and serves as the baseline drive for hypervisor boot, web servers, content delivery networks, and virtual machine operating system volumes across multi-vendor server racks.

Compatibility

The drive fits standard 2.5-inch small-form-factor (SFF) 7mm drive bays across enterprise servers from Dell (PowerEdge 14G/15G/16G), HPE (ProLiant Gen10/Gen11), Lenovo (ThinkSystem V1/V2/V3), and Supermicro. It interfaces with native SATA 6Gb/s host controllers, SAS/SATA HBAs, and hardware RAID controllers. It does not fit 3.5-inch large-form-factor drive bays without a 2.5-to-3.5 caddy bracket. It is not an NVMe drive and cannot use PCIe NVMe direct-attach backplane cabling.

How to identify a genuine unit

Genuine retail units feature a white Samsung enterprise label displaying model MZ-7L31T900, part number MZ7L31T9HBLT-00A07, rated capacity 1.92TB, and standard SATA power/data pinouts. The drive firmware appears in smartctl or Samsung Magician DC with the JXTC or JXTD prefix. Drives with OEM branding from Dell (such as 0400-BLLJ) or HPE (P40499-B21) will carry vendor firmware and may not accept standard Samsung retail firmware flashes.

Buying used

When purchasing used PM893 drives, query SMART telemetry using smartctl -a /dev/sdX to check attribute 232 (available reserved space) and attribute 233 (media wearout indicator). Lightly used server pulls frequently show under 5 percent wear and tens of thousands of power-on hours, representing excellent secondary value. Verify that SATA connector gold fingers are clean without burnishing and confirm whether a server drive caddy is included.
