The Micron 5400 PRO 240GB (MTFDDAK240TGA-1BC15ABYY) is a strong fit for enterprise boot, logging, and edge appliance workloads that need SATA compatibility, delivering 1.5 DWPD and 662 TBW in a small-capacity drive where endurance matters more than raw capacity. Compared with typical entry enterprise SATA SSDs in this class, it stands out by pairing 3D TLC efficiency with 80,000/33,000 IOPS and 540/350 MB/s performance, giving infrastructure teams a more durable and consistently responsive option for mixed read/write duty.
With an endurance rating of 662 TBW, the MTFDDAK240TGA-1BC15ABYY can sustain about 181 GB of host writes per day for 10 years, which is well above the write volume of a typical OS boot drive or edge device system disk. Its 1.5 DWPD rating further confirms that it is designed for steady daily rewriting, giving procurement teams confidence that normal enterprise read/write workloads will remain comfortably within the drive’s endurance envelope. For reliability, built-in power-loss protection helps preserve in-flight data and protects the drive’s metadata if power is interrupted unexpectedly, reducing the risk of corruption during outages or sudden shutdowns. The enterprise-class UBER of 1.0E-17 means an extremely low probability of uncorrectable bit errors, supporting dependable long-term data integrity alongside the 3 million hour MTBF rating.
1. The SATA III interface, paired with full-bandwidth sequential read performance, enables a drop-in upgrade for legacy enterprise platforms while accelerating OS boot, log retrieval, and bulk data access.
2. With up to 540 MB/s sequential reads, this drive helps reduce backup restore windows and speeds the movement of large datasets in read-focused server workloads.
3. Delivering 80,000 random-read IOPS, it supports fast access to small-block data, improving responsiveness for virtual machines, metadata lookups, and transactional applications.
4. Rated for 1.5 DWPD, it is built to sustain steady daily rewrites in mixed-use enterprise environments, helping extend service life and lower replacement risk.
5. Using 3D TLC NAND and a typical latency of [latency] µs, the drive balances cost efficiency, usable capacity, and predictable QoS for mainstream data center deployments.
Lower capacity: 120GB Higher capacity: 480GB In this product family, the 240GB model sits at a practical sweet spot. Compared with the 120GB version, it offers much better headroom for OS images, logs, patches, and application growth, reducing the risk of early capacity pressure. Compared with the 480GB option, it keeps acquisition cost and fleet budget under tighter control while delivering broadly similar sequential and random I/O behavior for typical enterprise workloads. This makes 240GB especially suitable for medium-scale server boot pools, edge nodes, or around 40–60 virtual desktop system drives in a balanced deployment.
Q: Is MTFDDAK240TGA-1BC15ABYY suitable for a write-heavy database server?
A: Yes, it is suitable for moderately write-heavy database workloads. With 1.5 DWPD, 662 TBW, 3D TLC NAND, and PLP support, it offers solid endurance, reliability, and data protection.
Q: How many full drive writes per day can it actually endure over its warranty period?
A: This model is rated for 1.5 full drive writes per day over its warranty period. For a 240GB drive, that equals about 360GB of writes daily, aligned with 662 TBW.
Q: Does it include power loss protection (PLP) and why is that critical?
A: Yes, it includes power loss protection. PLP is critical because it helps preserve in-flight data and metadata during unexpected outages, reducing corruption risk and improving storage reliability.
Q: What RAID level is recommended for this SSD?
A: For this SSD, RAID 1 or RAID 10 is typically recommended, especially for database and business-critical environments. These levels provide better redundancy, fault tolerance, and consistent performance than RAID 0.
