As your data center and server rooms continue to mature and finish their migrations from overall hard disk drives (HDDs) and spinning media to some combination of solid state drives (SSDs) and other media, you may be wondering if drive manufacturers and the storage industry in general make differently equipped drives for implementing in different scenarios.

You’d be right: Samsung offers a complete line of enterprise class, data center intended solid state drives. From a drive with a great price point and value to drives where “no holds barred” performance is the first and only priority, there is a Samsung drive for every server and every data center. Here’s a closer look at the Samsung 883 DCT.

About the Drive

The 883 DCT was built as the next step in storage for data centers after enterprises upgrade from HDDs to SSDs and are ready to enhance capacity and performance. The drive is an enterprise-level SSD built to offer fast read/write speeds sustained over time, as well as protection against environmental problems, in a tight 2.5-in. form factor — an industry standard, making it compatible for direct attachment with the vast majority of servers both on the market and in production.

Notable features include:

More Than Size and Speed

The Samsung 883 DCT is a common sense choice for general server usage and makes an excellent entry point into server and data center class SSDs. For storage managers already deploying SSDs, the 883 DCT is a perfect next step up from the Samsung 860 DCT which comes in three capacity sizes.
