Features
- The Entry SATA SSDs have the following features:
- Low-cost, read-intensive SSD from Samsung
- 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch industry-standard form factor with hot-swap tray
- 6 Gbps SATA interface
- Advanced ECC Engine and End-to-End Data Protection
- Samsung 32-layer V-NAND stacks the vertical NAND layers in three dimensions, solving the cell-to-cell interference that causes data corruption in planar NAND.
- Protect data integrity from unexpected power loss with Samsung’s advanced power-loss protection architecture
- Supports Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology(S.M.A.R.T).
- Dynamic Thermal Guard Protection protects the SSD from overheating by automatically controlling the speed of the CPU relative to its core temperature
Entry SSDs and Performance SSDs have similar read and write IOPS performance,
but the key difference between them is their endurance (or lifetime) (that is,
how long they can perform write operations because SSDs have a finite number
of program/erase (P/E) cycles). Entry SSDs have a better cost/IOPS ratio but
lower endurance compared to Performance SSDs. SSD write endurance is typically
measured by the number of program/erase (P/E) cycles that the drive incurs
over its lifetime, listed as the total bytes of written data (TBW) in the
device specification.
The TBW value assigned to a solid-state device is the total bytes of written
data (based on the number of P/E cycles) that a drive can be guaranteed to
complete (% of remaining P/E cycles = % of remaining TBW). Reaching this limit
does not cause the drive to immediately fail. It simply denotes the maximum
number of writes that can be guaranteed. A solid-state device will not fail
upon reaching the specified TBW. At some point based on the manufacturing
variance margin, after surpassing the TBW value, the drive will reach the end-
of-life point, at which the drive will go into a read-only mode.
Because of such behavior by Entry solid-state drives, careful planning must be
done to use them only in read-intensive or mixed up to 70% read/30% write
environments to ensure that the TBW of the drive will not be exceeded before
the required life expectancy.
For example, the 480 GB PM883 Entry drive has an endurance of 683 TB of total
bytes written (TBW). This means that for full operation over five years, the
write workload must be limited to no more than 374 GB of writes per day, which
is equivalent to 0.8 full drive writes per day (DWPD). For the device to last
three years, the drive writes workload must be limited to no more than 624 GB
of writes per day, which is equivalent to 1.3 full drive writes per day.

Operating system support
SSDs operate transparently to users, storage systems, applications,
databases, and operating systems.
Operating system support is based on the controller used to connect to the
drives. Consult the controller product guide for more information:
- RAID controllers: https://lenovopress.com/servers/options/raid
- SAS HBAs: https://lenovopress.com/servers/options/hba
Warranty
The PM883 Entry 6Gb SATA SSDs carry a one-year, customer-replaceable unit
(CRU) limited warranty.
When the SSDs are installed in a supported server, these drives assume the
system’s base warranty and any warranty upgrades.
Solid-state State Memory cells have an intrinsic, finite number of
program/erase cycles that each cell can incur.
As a result, each solid-state device has a maximum amount of program/erase
cycles to which it can be subjected. The warranty for Lenovo solid state
drives (SSDs) is limited to drives that have not reached the maximum
guaranteed number of program/erase cycles, as documented in the Official
Published Specifications for the SSD product. A drive that reaches this limit
may fail to operate according to its Specifications.
