Micron 5400 PRO 960GB SATA 2.5" 7mm Non-SED Enterprise SSD

Overview

The Micron MTFDDAK960TGA-1BC1ZABYYR is a 960 GB enterprise solid-state drive designed to fit into any standard 2.5-inch, 7 mm SATA bay. It provides a straightforward upgrade path for IT teams seeking to enhance system performance while maintaining compatibility with existing SATA 6 Gb/s infrastructure commonly found in servers, storage arrays, and edge appliances. With sequential read speeds up to 540 MB/s and write speeds up to 520 MB/s, this drive accelerates application load times and large data transfers, making it a strong choice for virtualization hosts, boot volumes in dense rack servers, and mixed-use workloads that demand low latency.

Key features

• High throughput that reduces wait times for data-intensive tasks and improves overall system responsiveness
• Power-loss protection that safeguards in-flight data during unexpected outages, ensuring data integrity
• Full data path protection to prevent silent data corruption and maintain reliability in critical environments
• Adaptive thermal monitoring that maintains consistent performance even in tightly packed server racks
• Endurance rated at 1.5 drive writes per day and 2,628 TBW, supporting demanding enterprise workloads
• Energy-efficient operation with a typical active power draw of 3.9 W, helping data centers manage power consumption
• Built on advanced 176-layer 3D TLC NAND technology, balancing performance with predictable wear characteristics

Performance and reliability

This SSD is engineered to deliver consistent performance under demanding conditions, with a focus on reliability that enterprise environments require. Its power-loss protection and data path protection features ensure that data remains safe even during power interruptions or unexpected system events. The adaptive thermal monitoring system helps prevent overheating, which can degrade performance or shorten the drive’s lifespan, making it well suited for dense server configurations and edge deployments.

Ideal uses and environments

The drive fits well in enterprise data centers, virtualization hosts, and storage arrays where fast access to data and low latency are critical. It is also a strong option for boot volumes in rack servers and mixed-use workloads that combine read and write operations. Its energy-efficient design supports deployments in power-constrained environments such as remote sites or edge computing locations, helping administrators meet strict power budgets without sacrificing performance.
