Micron 9400 PRO 7.68TB 2.5" NVMe U.3 PCIe 4.0 x4 Enterprise SSD

Overview

The Micron MTFDKCC7T6TGH-1BC1ZABYYR is a 2.5 inch NVMe solid state drive designed for enterprise servers requiring consistent high-speed storage. It uses a U.3 PCIe 4.0 x4 interface to deliver sequential data transfer rates up to 7,000 MB per second and random read performance reaching 1.6 million IOPS with 4 KB blocks. With 7.68 TB of capacity built on 176-layer 3D TLC NAND, this drive supports demanding workloads such as databases, virtualization, and real-time analytics without bottlenecks.

Engineered for endurance, it supports one full drive write per day, totaling 14,016 terabytes written over its lifespan. This makes it well suited for log-intensive applications like containerized microservices, streaming content nodes, and high-frequency trading systems that require constant data rewriting. The drive’s robust reliability features and familiar 2.5-inch form factor simplify integration into existing data center environments.

Key features

• High-speed U.3 PCIe 4.0 x4 interface enables rapid data transfers to keep workloads moving smoothly.
• Power loss protection safeguards in-flight data during unexpected outages, preventing data corruption.
• Secure erase function allows administrators to safely sanitize the drive before redeployment or retirement.
• Digitally signed firmware and full data path protection ensure data integrity from flash memory to host system.
• Endurance rated at 1 drive write per day supports heavy write workloads without compromising lifespan.
• Compact 2.5-inch, 0.6-inch height form factor fits directly into standard U.3 or Tri-Mode backplanes without adapters.
• Wide operating temperature range from 32 to 158 °F supports reliable operation in various data center environments.
• Projected 2 million hour mean time between failures reduces risk of unplanned downtime.
