7.68TB SATA enterprise SSD

The Micron 5300 PRO MTFDDAK7T6TDS is a 2.5-inch internal solid-state drive built for enterprise servers and storage arrays. It delivers 7.68TB of capacity using 3D TLC NAND and a 6Gb/s SATA interface. The drive includes AES 256-bit hardware encryption with TCG Opal 2.0 support and power-loss protection for data integrity.

Suits read-intensive server workloads

This drive fits cloud storage, virtualization, data warehousing and mixed-workload applications that benefit from high capacity and consistent latency. Its 0.65 DWPD endurance rating and 9,110 TBW make it appropriate for read-heavy tasks. Buyers who need higher write endurance for write-intensive databases or logging should consider a drive with a greater DWPD figure.

0.65 DWPD endurance rating

The single specification that decides fit is the 0.65 drive writes per day endurance over the warranty period. This value determines whether the SSD can sustain your application's daily write volume without exceeding its rated lifespan. Match this number against your workload's write profile to confirm suitability.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s interface and 7.68TB capacity work in a server that currently runs older SATA 3Gb/s SSDs?

Yes, the SATA 6Gb/s interface is backward compatible with 3Gb/s controllers. The drive will operate at the slower link speed while delivering its full 7.68TB capacity and 0.65 DWPD endurance.

How can I verify the AES 256-bit encryption and TCG Opal 2.0 features are active after installation?

Use a TCG Opal-compatible management tool or your RAID controller BIOS to confirm the encryption status and lock state. The drive also reports 1,379 power-on hours and health data via SMART.

Does the 2.5" enterprise SSD ship with a mounting bracket, caddy or SATA cables, or must they be purchased separately?

The drive is supplied as a bare 2.5" unit. Mounting brackets, drive caddies and SATA data or power cables are not included and must be sourced separately for your server chassis.
