Frequently Asked Questions

What is QLC NAND and why is it used for high-capacity SSDs?

QLC (Quad-Level Cell) NAND stores 4 bits per cell, enabling the highest storage density per die — making it ideal for high-capacity, read-intensive enterprise SSDs where cost-per-TB is critical.

What is the difference between MZWLR30THBLA-00AHI and MZWLR30THBLA-00AD9?

Both are 30.72TB PM1733a QLC NVMe SSDs from the same Samsung family. The 00AHI and 00AD9 suffixes denote different production revisions — they are functionally equivalent with the same specifications.

What connector does the U.2 form factor use?

U.2 drives use the SFF-8639 connector. Most enterprise servers with U.2 bays include this connector natively. A U.2 to M.2 adapter can be used in systems with M.2 slots.

The Samsung PM1733a (MZWLR30THBLA-00AHI) delivers 30.72TB of PCIe Gen4 NVMe storage in a standard U.2 form factor — the ultimate high-capacity enterprise SSD for hyperscale and cloud data center deployments. Order today for maximum storage density with Samsung enterprise reliability.
