The Micron 2200 MTFDHBA256TCK is a strong fit for client OEM boot drives, VDI endpoints, and read-centric edge caching where PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe bandwidth matters more than high write endurance, delivering up to 3000 MB/s read and 240K random read IOPS from an efficient 256GB 3D TLC design. Versus typical SATA SSDs and lower-tier entry NVMe drives in the same capacity class, it provides materially faster application launch and dataset access while maintaining a practical 75 TBW profile for mainstream notebook and thin-client deployments.
With a rated endurance of 75 TBW, the MTFDHBA256TCK can comfortably support typical OS, boot, and general application workloads for many years, making it a reliable choice as a system drive in standard business PCs and embedded platforms. In practical terms, this level of endurance is more than sufficient for read-heavy and moderate daily write usage, so procurement teams can expect stable long-term service under normal operating conditions. For reliability, the drive is specified at an UBER of 1.0E-15 and an MTBF of 2 million hours, indicating strong data integrity and a design built for dependable operation over time. It does not include power-loss protection (PLP), so while it is well suited for systems with stable power or upstream backup protection, it is not intended for write-critical applications that require in-flight data protection during sudden power interruption.
1. The PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe interface provides low-overhead, high-bandwidth connectivity that helps enterprise servers accelerate database queries, virtualization, and real-time analytics.
2. With up to 3000 MB/s sequential read performance, the drive shortens large-file transfer, backup restore, and application loading times in data-intensive environments.
3. Delivering 240,000 K IOPS random read throughput, it supports highly concurrent workloads such as OLTP, VDI, and metadata-heavy cloud applications with faster response under load.
4. Built with 3D TLC NAND and rated for [dwpd] DWPD, the drive balances strong write endurance and storage efficiency, making it well suited for mixed-use enterprise deployments that run around the clock.
5. A typical latency of [latency] µs helps reduce storage wait time, improving service consistency for latency-sensitive workloads like transactional systems and virtualized infrastructure.
Lower-capacity reference: MTFDHBA128TCK, 128GB Higher-capacity reference: MTFDHBA512TCK, 512GB In this enterprise SSD family, the 256GB MTFDHBA256TCK sits at a practical sweet spot. Compared with the 128GB MTFDHBA128TCK, it provides noticeably better capacity headroom for OS images, logs, metadata, and application growth, reducing the risk of early space pressure. Compared with the 512GB MTFDHBA512TCK, it usually delivers the best balance between acquisition cost and enterprise-grade performance, since sequential throughput and random IOPS remain broadly similar across the range. It is well suited for mid-scale virtualization clusters, such as boot and utility storage for about 40 to 60 business application nodes.
Q: Is MTFDHBA256TCK suitable for a write-heavy database server?
A: MTFDHBA256TCK is generally not recommended for write-heavy database servers. Its 3D TLC NAND, 75 TBW endurance, and lack of PLP make it better suited to read-focused or mixed workloads.
Q: How many full drive writes per day can it actually endure over its warranty period?
A: Based on 75 TBW and a typical 5-year warranty, the drive supports about 0.16 DWPD, equal to roughly 41 GB of writes per day on average.
Q: Does it include power loss protection (PLP) and why is that critical?
A: No, this model does not include power loss protection. PLP is critical in enterprise environments because it helps prevent in-flight data loss and metadata corruption during unexpected power failures.
Q: What RAID level is recommended for this SSD?
A: For general server use, RAID 1 or RAID 10 is typically recommended to improve redundancy and performance. For write-intensive applications, RAID 10 is usually the safer and more balanced choice.
