Samsung PM893 1.92TB
The last great SATA boot-and-read tier: Samsung 128-layer V-NAND TLC, 550MB/s reads, 1.3 DWPD endurance, power-loss protection and TCG Opal — for the huge installed base of SATA servers that NVMe cannot touch. New channel stock and graded pulls, SMART-verified, shipped from Hong Kong.

The PM893 is Samsung's read-intensive SATA workhorse — the natural successor to the PM883 for boot volumes, read cache, and capacity tiers on SATA-only platforms. If your bays support U.2 NVMe, the PM9A3 1.92TB delivers roughly 12x the sequential throughput; if you are locked to SATA, the PM893 saturates the link. Intel's SATA alternative is the D3-S4520 1.92TB (1 DWPD class). All capacities rotate through our enterprise storage range; the interface trade-off is covered in our NVMe vs SATA guide.
Transparent Pricing
2026 Reference Pricing by Configuration
Tracked Sep 7, 2026 — seven asking-price data points for new 1.92TB units across eBay, US resellers, and EU/Middle East retail. Used-pull pricing is quoted on request. Volume orders quote below asking.
Channel / Reseller New
$842-$1,299
Three data points: Goto Direct $841.94 (list $895.68), ServerSupply $1,250 (list $1,600), eBay Shenzhen seller $1,299 (10+ in stock). Multitronic Finland lists EUR 1,088 excl. VAT (approx $1,175, 33 pcs remote stock).
Middle East / Aggregator Retail
$730-$2,010
E-Catalog aggregates $730-$1,395 across listed shops; Amazon.ae asks AED 7,377 (approx $2,010). An eBay Italy listing at EUR 356.99 (approx $386) did not state condition clearly — treat with caution and verify warranty terms.
Used Server Pulls
On Request
Graded pulls with full SMART readout (percentage life remaining, power-on hours, reallocated sectors). Priced from live channel stock — tell us quantity and target health floor.
Asking prices, not transaction prices — volume deals typically close 5-15% below asking. Small sample per tier (n<5): indicative only. Sources: ebay.com, gotodirect.com, serversupply.com, multitronic.fi, e-catalog.com, amazon.ae. Collected Sep 7, 2026. Full dataset: Used Server Price Index.

Quality Process
What We Test Before a PM893 1.92TB Ships
SMART Health Readout
Percentage Used, power-on hours, reallocated sectors, and media errors pulled from every drive — we quote the health floor before you commit.
Full-Surface Write/Read Pass
Every LBA written and read back under SATA stress — catches weak NAND blocks that SMART alone misses.
Firmware & Secure Erase
Firmware checked against Samsung's current release; drives sanitized to NIST 800-88 with certificate available on request.
Connector & Housing Inspection
SATA power/data connector pins and housing inspected for wear — pulled drives with damaged connectors are rejected.
PN Verification
Label PN (MZ7L31T9HBLT) cross-checked against controller-reported model — relabeled PM883-as-PM893 drives are a known channel risk.
Report in the Box
Every unit ships with its per-machine diagnostic report and warranty. Full process: inspection guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Samsung PM893 1.92TB cost in 2026?
New units run $842-$1,299 through channel resellers and up to about $2,010 at Middle East retail (seven asking prices tracked Sep 7, 2026 — small samples, indicative only). The 2026 NAND supply tightening has widened channel spreads, so buy the channel, not the sticker. Graded used pulls are quoted on request against live stock.
What is the difference between PM893 1.92TB and PM9A3 1.92TB?
Same capacity and Samsung data-center pedigree, but different interfaces: the PM893 is SATA 6Gb/s (550MB/s ceiling) for legacy SATA bays, while the PM9A3 is U.2 PCIe Gen4 NVMe with up to 6,500MB/s reads — roughly 12x the throughput where the platform supports it. The PM893 also carries higher endurance (1.3 vs 1.0 DWPD). Choose PM893 for SATA-only hosts and read-heavy boot/logging roles; choose PM9A3 when the backplane takes NVMe.
Is the PM893 backward compatible with older SATA servers?
Yes — it negotiates down to SATA 3Gb/s and 1.5Gb/s automatically and works in any 2.5-inch SATA bay on Dell 13G/14G/15G, HPE Gen9/Gen10, and Lenovo platforms. No drivers or firmware changes are needed; it presents as a standard SATA SSD.
What condition are HKCHL PM893 drives in?
Both new-sealed and graded used pulls are available. Every used drive ships with its SMART readout (life remaining, power-on hours), a full-surface write/read pass result, NIST 800-88 sanitization on request, and a 1-year warranty. We quote the health floor before you pay.
Can you ship PM893 1.92TB to the US, Europe, or Asia?
Yes — worldwide shipping from our Hong Kong warehouse with full export documentation; express air-freight typically arrives in 3-7 days to major markets. For array builds we combine freight across capacities and SKUs to reduce per-unit cost.
