Micron 5400 PRO 480GB 2.5" SATA Internal SSD

The Micron MTFDDAK480TGA-1BC15ABYYR is a 2.5 inch SATA solid state drive that brings dependable, data-center-ready performance to any server or storage array. With 480 GB of capacity, it fits easily into existing bays and provides a fast upgrade path from aging hard drives.

Built on Micron’s advanced 176 layer NAND, the drive reaches up to 540 MB per second for sequential reads. Although it is optimized for read intensive workloads, it still supports up to 1.5 drive writes per day, giving administrators confidence for tasks that include frequent logging, boot operations, and light database activity.

A hardware based 256 bit AES encryption engine protects data at rest without taxing the host CPU. Hot plug support lets you swap or add drives without shutting down the system, which helps keep critical services online. Micron backs the drive with a five year limited warranty for additional peace of mind.

This SSD is an ideal choice for virtualization hosts, web servers, edge appliances, and backup targets that need a balance of speed, endurance, and cost efficiency. Installation is straightforward because the drive uses the familiar SATA/600 interface and a standard 2.5 inch form factor, so no special adapters or cables are required.
