The Micron 5400 PRO 240GB (MTFDDAV240TGA-1BC16ABYYR) is especially well suited for server boot, virtualization host boot, and edge-node metadata/logging workloads that need SATA III compatibility with unusually high endurance in a small-capacity drive, delivering 1.5 DWPD and 657 TBW from 3D TLC NAND. Compared with typical SSDs in the 240GB SATA enterprise class, it combines stronger write life with balanced 540/350 MB/s sequential performance and 80,000/30,000 IOPS, making it a more dependable choice for legacy platforms that still require predictable endurance.
With an endurance rating of 657 TBW and 1.5 DWPD, the MTFDDAV240TGA-1BC16ABYYR is built to handle sustained daily write activity far beyond typical OS, boot, and general application workloads. In practical terms, for use as a system drive or embedded boot device under normal enterprise conditions, this level of endurance supports many years of stable operation and can comfortably cover long-term deployment needs. For enterprise reliability, integrated power-loss protection (PLP) helps preserve in-flight data and metadata during unexpected power interruption, reducing the risk of corruption and improving recovery confidence. Its UBER of 1.0E-17 indicates an extremely low uncorrectable bit error rate, which, together with the 3-million-hour MTBF, reflects a design focused on data integrity and dependable 24/7 operation.
1. The SATA III interface ensures broad compatibility with mainstream enterprise servers and storage arrays, enabling a straightforward upgrade path for legacy infrastructure without changing the platform architecture.
2. With sequential read performance of 540 MB/s, the drive accelerates OS boot, VM image loading, and large-file access in read-heavy business environments.
3. Delivering 80,000 random read IOPS, it supports faster response times for virtualized workloads, metadata-intensive applications, and high-concurrency database queries.
4. Rated at 1.5 DWPD, the SSD provides the write endurance needed for always-on enterprise use cases such as logging, caching, and mixed transactional workloads over its service life.
5. Built with 3D TLC NAND and a typical latency of [latency] µs, it offers a practical balance of capacity, cost efficiency, and consistent responsiveness for mainstream data center deployments.
Lower capacity reference: 120GB Higher capacity reference: 480GB In this product family, the 240GB model sits at the practical sweet spot. Compared with the 120GB version, it gives much better headroom for OS images, logs, overprovisioning, and application growth, reducing the risk of early capacity pressure. Compared with the 480GB option, it keeps acquisition cost lower while delivering essentially the same enterprise-class sequential throughput and random IOPS behavior expected in this range. That makes 240GB a well-balanced choice for medium-scale deployments, such as boot and cache drives across roughly 20 to 30 virtualization hosts or edge servers.
Q: Is MTFDDAV240TGA-1BC16ABYYR suitable for a write-heavy database server?
A: Yes. With 1.5 DWPD, 657 TBW endurance, 3D TLC NAND, and PLP support, this 240GB SATA III SSD is suitable for moderate to write-intensive database workloads in enterprise environments.
Q: How many full drive writes per day can it actually endure over its warranty period?
A: It 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 within the specified endurance rating.
Q: Does it include power loss protection (PLP) and why is that critical?
A: Yes, it includes power loss protection. PLP helps preserve in-flight data and metadata during sudden outages, reducing corruption risk and improving reliability for databases, RAID arrays, and transactional applications.
Q: What RAID level is recommended for this SSD?
A: RAID 1, RAID 10, or RAID 5/6 may be selected depending on performance, redundancy, and capacity goals. For database servers, RAID 10 is commonly recommended for balanced speed and fault tolerance.
