Micron 5400 PRO OPAL 240GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s SED TCG SSD

The Micron MTFDDAK240TGA-1BC15ABYYR is a 240GB SATA solid state drive designed for administrators who want straightforward performance and strong endurance without moving to a more complex interface. It slides into any standard 2.5-inch, 7 mm bay and connects through a 6 Gb/s SATA link, so swapping it in for an aging hard drive often takes only a few minutes.

Inside the drive, Micron’s 176-layer TLC NAND delivers up to 540 MB/s sequential read speed and 350 MB/s sequential write speed. That is enough bandwidth for tasks such as booting virtual machines, hosting databases that lean on fast reads, or running edge applications that need quick, predictable access to data. An endurance rating of 1.5 drive writes per day means you can rewrite the full capacity multiple times each day throughout the five-year warranty period, an important safety margin for log-heavy or cache-oriented workloads.

Security is built in rather than bolted on. The drive supports AES 256-bit encryption and TCG Opal, so data stays protected at rest with no noticeable impact on performance. This makes it a practical option for multi-tenant servers, branch-office appliances, or any system that carries sensitive customer information.

Reliability numbers are equally reassuring. A mean time to failure of three million hours and rigorous factory testing reduce the chance of unplanned downtime. Pair that with solid random performance—up to 75 000 IOPS on reads and 37 000 IOPS on writes—and you have a drive that keeps pace with mixed workloads while staying predictable under pressure.
