Micron 5400 PRO 960GB SATA 2.5-inch SSD

The Micron 5400 PRO 960GB SATA 2.5-inch SSD (MPN: MTFDKBA960TGA-1BC1ZABYYT) is built on Micron's 176-layer TLC 3D NAND technology, delivering a compelling combination of read-optimized performance and endurance for enterprise read-intensive workloads. Engineered with a SATA 6Gb/s interface and the standard 2.5-inch 7mm form factor, it integrates seamlessly into existing server, storage array, and hyperconverged infrastructure platforms without requiring hardware modifications. The drive's hardware-based AES 256-bit self-encrypting drive (SED) capability, combined with support for TCG Opal and TCG Enterprise protocols, ensures data-at-rest protection aligned with enterprise security mandates.

The 5400 PRO series is positioned above the entry-level 5400 MAX in Micron's lineup, offering a balanced endurance rating suited to mixed and read-dominant I/O profiles. With sequential read speeds of up to 540 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 520 MB/s, the drive sustains consistent throughput under the sustained queue depths typical of datacenter environments. Random 4K read performance reaches up to 95,000 IOPS, while random 4K write performance is rated at up to 45,000 IOPS, making it well-suited to workloads that prioritize read bandwidth and low-latency access over write-heavy operations.

Designed for operational reliability in 24×7 always-on environments, the Micron 5400 PRO 960GB carries a 1.5 DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day) endurance rating over a five-year period, translating to a total bytes written (TBW) value of approximately 2,628 TB. Power-Loss Imminent (PLI) circuitry protects in-flight data during unexpected power events, and the drive supports DevSleep and HIPM+DIPM power states to optimize energy consumption in density-optimized deployments. It is fully qualified for deployment in major server and storage platforms, making it a dependable choice for IT procurement teams targeting scale-out storage, boot/OS drives, and AI inference serving nodes.

Ideal for

• Read-intensive database hosting and data warehousing where sustained sequential read throughput and low-latency random reads reduce query response times at scale
• Enterprise boot and OS drive deployments in high-density rack servers, where the standard 2.5-inch SATA form factor ensures broad platform compatibility
• Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) nodes requiring consistent mixed-workload IOPS with hardware-enforced AES 256-bit encryption for multi-tenant security compliance
• AI inference serving clusters and edge analytics appliances that depend on fast read access to model weights and structured datasets stored on local NVMe-adjacent SATA tiers
• Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environments benefiting from the drive's random read IOPS headroom and endurance during boot storms and login surges
• Compliance-driven storage deployments in healthcare, finance, and government sectors where TCG Opal and TCG Enterprise SED support is mandated for data-at-rest protection
