SSD Micron 5400 MAX 3.84TB SATA 2.5" MTFDDAK3T8TGB-1BC1ZABYYR (DWPD 3.4)

Micron 5400 MAX 3.84TB is a 2.5" SATA SSD, primarily aimed at server and data center environments, where durability and stable latency are more important than flashy marketing numbers. You get capacity of 3.84 TB, speeds up to 540MB/s read and 520MB/s write, plus a focus on reliability and predictable behavior under load. With Micron 176-layer 3D TLC NAND and endurance of 3.4 DWPD, this model is built to be hammered with writing every day, year after year. If you need a serious SATA SSD for server workload, this is from the heavy category.

What you get

With 3.4 DWPD and 24528 TBW, you can rewrite the entire volume of the disk several times a day within the warranty period, which is critical for databases, virtualization, and logs with heavy writing. Performance is balanced – up to 540MB/s read and 520MB/s write via SATA 3.0 (6 Gb/s), which practically fills the interface limit. Random operations – up to 95000 IOPS read and 34000 IOPS write (4KB) – are aimed at typical server scenarios, while the combined 70/30 profile with 63000 IOPS shows that the drive is optimized for mixed workloads. Read latency 170 µs and write latency 90 µs (99.9%) mean predictable response time even under high load, which helps stable applications and fewer "spikes" in delay.

• Large capacity of 3.84 TB, suitable for virtual machines, databases, file servers, and applications with an active dataset.
• SATA 3 / SATA 3.0 (6 Gb/s) interface and 2.5" form factor, making it easy to integrate into existing server chassis and backplanes.
• Random operations up to 95000 IOPS read and 34000 IOPS write (4KB) plus 63000 IOPS at 70/30 read/write, aimed at typical server workloads.
• Durability 3.4 DWPD and total 24528 TBW, allowing massive daily writes without rapid wear of flash memory.
• Memory type Micron 176-layer 3D TLC NAND, combining capacity and reliability, optimized for enterprise workloads.
• Low and predictable latency with 170 µs read and 90 µs write (99.9%), which is important for consistent application and database response.
• MTBF of 3 000 000 hours and UBER <1 sector per 10^17 bits read, aimed at minimizing errors and unexpected stops.
• Consumption of 1.5 W idle, 2.8 W during sequential read and 3.8 W during sequential write, good for dense configurations with many drives.
• Operating temperature range 0–70 °C and compact dimensions 100.45 x 69.85 x 7.00 mm, suitable for standard server environments.
• Long warranty of 60 months, which fits the typical lifecycle of server hardware.

Who it is suitable for

This SSD is aimed at servers and environments with intensive writing – virtualization, databases, log servers, mail and application servers. It is also suitable if you have existing infrastructure limited to SATA, but want high durability and predictable latency. If you are looking for cheap storage for a home PC or NAS with light load, here you pay for endurance that you may not use at all.

The combination of large capacity, high durability (3.4 DWPD / 24528 TBW) and stable latency makes Micron 5400 MAX 3.84TB a very sensible choice for serious server workloads, especially where SATA is still the standard.
