Use the entire part number
Preserve every suffix and distinguish a manufacturer number from a branded OEM option or spare number. Avoid treating all PM1653 drives as the same item.
Samsung / TECHNICAL BUYING PROFILE
PM1653
A SAS SSD family. Capacity, firmware and the full part number define the drive.
24G SASDual portEnterprise SSDCapacity-specific PN
Price, condition, availability and included options confirmed in the written quotation. The RFQ opens a request draft; it does not submit an order.
Know the platform before you configure it.
PM1653 identifies a family rather than a single orderable drive. A meaningful quotation preserves capacity, complete Samsung or OEM part number, firmware and the required drive carrier.
Do not substitute this SAS product into an NVMe-only path because the external format looks familiar. Compare the intended server or array, controller and firmware before checking price. For used units, ask for unit-matched health and usage records, not just a generic “tested” statement.
Facts with a source, not a generic template.
Alternative maxima are not necessarily available together. Source links identify the documentation scope—not an inventory guarantee.
| Identity scope | PM1653 enterprise SSD family, not one capacity-specific SKU |
|---|---|
| Interface | 24G SAS |
| Port design | Dual port |
| Family capacity ceiling | Up to 30.72TB; exact capacity requires a complete PN |
| Legacy host path | Samsung documents support for legacy 12G SAS-3 platforms |
| OEM qualification | Array/server firmware, carrier and option PN require separate verification |
What needs to be agreed in your offer.
Identify the host path
Document SAS generation, dual-path requirements and controller qualification. Interface fallback is not a blanket promise of OEM firmware support.
Agree the condition evidence
For an inspected pre-owned offer, request health information, usage, error records and a serial-matched photo. Define any acceptable thresholds in the offer.
These are procurement considerations, not an OEM-approved BOM. Final option part numbers and compatibility must be reviewed for the supplied system.
Evidence for the equipment you will receive.
Request shipment-specific records.
Agree the identity and condition first. Ask for current-unit views, the installed or supplied parts list, relevant test records and photographs of the completed packing.
Define the warranty provider and delivery scope in the quotation. A catalog photo, technical source or process illustration is not evidence that an offered unit has passed inspection.
Build an acceptance checklistQuestions about this model.
Is PM1653 an NVMe drive?
No. This family uses SAS.
Does 12G SAS support guarantee operation in any array?
No. Host protocol support and an array vendor’s drive/firmware qualification are separate checks.
PHOTOGRAPHS THAT SUPPORT YOUR RFQ
Match the part number and physical interface.
Attach a photo brief to the request for Samsung PM1653. This is a checklist to agree, not a record that inspection has already been performed.
Label and connector views
Ask for manufacturer and OEM part numbers, front/back views and the connector or edge contacts. Capacity, interface, form factor and intended host must match the requested component.
Lot and condition
Record quantity, condition, firmware or hardware revision where relevant, plus representative and exception photographs. Avoid relying on one generic image for a mixed lot.
Protect the shipment
Request individual separation, antistatic protection and connector protection as appropriate. Show the components in trays or packing, without inventing a component-specific boot screen.
Review the manufacturer’s material.
Check the current document revision before approving a configuration. Sources may cover a platform family or a selected machine type; the scope is recorded below.
