We decode only what the manufacturer documents. There is a large body of community knowledge about the undocumented segments above, much of it probably right, and none of it published by Samsung - so it does not appear in this table. A reading nobody can check does not belong in a column headed “what it means”. Grammar reference: Samsung - PM9A3 data sheet, Rev 1.0 (Aug 2022), Product Lineup.

A manufacturer part number does not imply a manufacturer warranty, and this is where part-number buyers lose the most money. OEM stock, integrator pulls and gray-market units all reach the market under the maker's own numbering. Retailers selling them sometimes state plainly that the manufacturer warranty is none; others simply do not mention it, which is not the same as it being covered.
Coverage attaches to the individual unit and its serial number, not to the part number. That means the only reliable answer comes from the manufacturer, about the specific drive you are being sold.
Ask the seller for the serial number before purchase, then enter it in Samsung memory support. We link the tool rather than showing a result here, because the answer depends on the individual drive and only Samsung can give it.

MZQL23T8HCLS is Samsung PM9A3 3.84TB NVMe-PCIe4. 1 of its 1 segments are defined in Samsung's own published documentation - the decode table on this page shows each one with the document that defines it. For the remaining segments we have not found a defining document, and we say so rather than repeating a community guess as fact.
Not necessarily, and the part number cannot tell you. Coverage depends on how the individual unit entered the market and whether it was registered, not on its model designation. OEM and gray-market stock reaches the market under manufacturer part numbers regularly and frequently carries no manufacturer warranty at all - some retailers print exactly that on the listing. Check the specific serial with Samsung's own tool, linked in the warranty section on this page.
Both are in the PM9A3 range. The clearest difference is capacity - 3.84TB against 1.92TB. The variant table on this page lists every sibling we document with what differs.
We track 1 live listing carrying this part number, shown above with condition and cost per terabyte. Prices come from Amazon US and are re-checked continuously; the buy links go to the live listing because the price can change between our check and your click.
Because more than one organisation names it. The manufacturer assigns a model number describing the product; a server vendor buying it in volume assigns its own spare-part number for its service catalogue; distributors sometimes add another. All identify the same physical drive, which is why one number returns listings that look like a different product. Our part number index explains the pattern per vendor.
