Samsung PM893 vs PM897 for exact-PN sourcing
Both catalog groups are 2.5-inch SATA enterprise SSD families, so the full PN—not the shared interface or capacity—is the safe procurement key.
What should a buyer confirm?
PM893 and PM897 records in this catalog both use SATA 6Gb/s and a 2.5-inch 7mm format. The catalog distinguishes them by exact PN and series workload context: PM893 is listed for traditional server, read-intensive and mainstream use, while PM897 is listed for read-centric server, cloud and edge use.
Catalog comparison
| Catalog fact | Samsung PM893 | Samsung PM897 |
|---|---|---|
| Interface | SATA 6Gb/s | SATA 6Gb/s |
| Protocol | SATA | SATA |
| Form factor | 2.5-inch 7mm | 2.5-inch 7mm |
| Media context | Samsung V6 128-layer TLC V-NAND | Samsung V6 128-layer TLC V-NAND |
| Catalog capacities | 480GB to 7.68TB | 960GB to 3.84TB |
| Series workload context | Traditional server, read-intensive, mainstream | Read-centric server, cloud, edge |
Compare more than interface and capacity
Because the two series share interface, protocol, form factor and media context, those fields alone cannot identify the required drive. Even a capacity such as 960GB or 1.92TB appears in both catalog groups.
That makes this a replacement-first identification problem. Preserve the full existing PN and confirm the server carrier and controller. Do not treat one series as an automatic substitute for the other solely because both are SATA and physically similar.
What to include in the RFQ
Send the exact PN, quantity, target platform and whether the request is a like-for-like replacement or a new deployment. If the existing drive label is available, use the full code shown there rather than a shortened catalog family name.
ServerProcure lists the part numbers currently available for inquiry. A product family may contain additional variants, so use the complete PN and target server model when requesting compatibility assistance.
