It is a half-height, half-length card, or HHHL. It plugs into a PCIe Gen3 x8 slot, like a network or RAID card. There is no drive bay or cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSlot, air and power\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlot.\u003c\/strong\u003e The card needs a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot or a longer one that works at x8.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize.\u003c\/strong\u003e It measures 69.90 x 167.65 x 18.71 mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower.\u003c\/strong\u003e It draws up to 21 W when active and 7.5 W when idle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAir.\u003c\/strong\u003e At 21 W the card makes real heat, so give it airflow inside the chassis.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThroughput and IOPS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReads reach up to 6,200 MB\/s and writes reach up to 2,600 MB\/s. For small random work, expect up to 1,000,000 reads and 180,000 writes per second. That is far beyond what a SATA drive can do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEndurance and safety\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe card is rated for 5 drive writes per day over 5 years. On a 1.6TB drive, that is 8TB of new data every day. Tantalum capacitors hold enough energy to move cached data to flash if power fails. The listed mean time between failures is 2,000,000 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy use a card?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA card needs no drive bay, no backplane and no cable. That helps in servers and workstations whose bays are full or have no NVMe support. Modern operating systems include NVMe drivers, so setup is simple. Seat the card, power on and check that the system sees a new NVMe drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eJobs it handles best\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis card suits databases, caching, analytics and other jobs where low delay matters. For plain file storage, a cheaper SATA drive is enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSamsung PM1725a MZPLL1T6HEHP specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSamsung\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSeries\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePM1725a\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMZPLL1T6HEHP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCapacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.6TB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eInterface\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePCIe Gen3 x8, NVMe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eForm factor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHHHL add-in card, 69.90 x 167.65 x 18.71 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFlash type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3rd-generation V-NAND TLC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eEndurance\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 drive writes per day for 5 years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSequential speed\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 6,200 MB\/s read, 2,600 MB\/s write\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRandom speed\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 1,000,000 read IOPS, 180,000 write IOPS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePower loss protection\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTantalum capacitors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePower\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21 W active maximum, 7.5 W idle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMTBF\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2,000,000 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Samsung","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63118874247539,"sku":"MZPLL1T6HEHP","price":328.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/9546\/1747\/files\/dm_mzpll1t6hehp_1.jpg?v=1784754779","url":"https:\/\/cpurepublic.com\/products\/samsung-pm1725a-1-6tb-pcie-3-0-x8-nvme-hhhl-add-in-card-ssd-mzpll1t6hehp","provider":"CPU Republic LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
