Micron 5400 PRO Server 240GB SATA 2.5" - MTFDDAK240TGA-1BC1ZABYYR (DWPD 1.5)

The Micron 5400 PRO 240GB is a 2.5" SATA SSD aimed at server and enterprise environments, where reliability and durability are more important than large capacity. You get 240GB with read speeds up to 540MB/s and write speeds up to 350MB/s, which is the maximum for a SATA interface in real-world conditions. The model is built on Micron 176-layer 3D TLC NAND and is sized for serious 24/7 workloads, not for light desktop use. No RGB, no unnecessary extras – the focus is on stable uptime and data protection.

What you get is an SSD optimized for server workloads – from databases and virtual machines to log servers and more demanding storage roles. 1.5 DWPD and 657TB TBW mean you can rewrite the full capacity of the disk several times a day within the warranty period without exceeding its design. IOPS values up to 75,000 at 4K random read and low latency times (170 µs read, 150 µs write at 99.9%) help systems respond faster when constantly pulling small data blocks. Power-loss protection and enterprise-class data path protection reduce the risk of corrupted data in case of sudden power loss or data path errors. At the same time, power consumption under 4W in active mode is convenient for densely packed server chassis with many drives.

• Capacity of 240GB, suitable for a system disk in a server, for boot, hypervisor, or smaller services where you need fast but not huge storage.
• Sequential speeds up to 540MB/s read and 350MB/s write, which allow you to squeeze the maximum out of the SATA 6.0Gb/s (Serial ATA III) interface.
• Low random access with up to 75,000 IOPS (4K random read) and 37,000 IOPS (4K random write), plus 49,000 IOPS at 70/30 read/write, which is a typical scenario for many server applications.
• Durability of 1.5 DWPD and 657 TB TBW, combined with MTBF of 3,000,000 hours, aimed at 24/7 server workload and long operational life.
• Uses Micron 176-layer 3D TLC NAND (RG NAND Gen 2), without DRAM cache, but with enterprise optimizations for consistent performance.
• Data protection via Power-loss protection (power loss signal + power hold-up circuit) and enterprise-class data path protection, reducing the risk of data loss or corruption in case of power supply or signal path issues.
• Operating temperature from 0°C to 70°C and power consumption up to 3.9W during active operation, which is suitable for a densely populated server rack with good energy efficiency.
• Supports Micron Storage Executive for health monitoring, firmware updates, and SSD management in an enterprise environment.

This SSD is suitable if you are looking for a reliable boot/OS disk for a server, storage for control plane services, lightweight databases, or virtualization, where you want enterprise features rather than consumer compromises. It is not a good choice if you are chasing maximum capacity at a low price or PCIe NVMe speeds for latency-critical, high-IOPS systems outside the SATA limit.

In summary, the Micron 5400 PRO 240GB impresses most with the combination of enterprise durability (1.5 DWPD, 657TB TBW), power-loss protection, and stable SATA performance in a compact 2.5" form factor. If you need a small but "tough" server SSD for a long 24/7 life, this model is exactly in that niche.
