Micron 5400 MAX 1.92TB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s SSD

Overview

The Micron MTFDDAK1T9TGB-1BC15ABYYR is a 2.5-inch SATA solid state drive designed to provide 1.92 TB of reliable storage for servers, workstations, and edge appliances that use the SATA interface. It delivers sequential read speeds up to 540 MB/s and write speeds up to 520 MB/s, making it a practical choice for boosting storage capacity and performance without needing to upgrade existing hardware. Built with Micron’s 176-layer 3D TLC NAND, this drive balances endurance, speed, and security for demanding workloads.

Key features

• High endurance with a 5 drive writes per day (DWPD) rating, supporting write-intensive applications like transactional databases and virtual desktop infrastructure.
• Hardware-based AES 256-bit encryption and TCG Opal compliance ensure data security and help meet regulatory requirements.
• Power loss protection and thermal monitoring safeguard data integrity during unexpected shutdowns and maintain drive health under heavy use.
• Low power consumption of 3 W during reads and 3.9 W during writes supports energy-efficient data centers and rack environments.
• Compact 2.5-inch form factor and lightweight design (2.47 oz) allow easy installation in standard bays, making it suitable for both legacy systems and new deployments.
• Micron’s RAIN technology enhances reliability by protecting against data corruption and drive failures.
