Enterprise SATA SSD for data centres

The Micron 5300 MAX is a 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s solid-state drive built with 96-layer 3D TLC NAND and rated at 480GB capacity. It targets read-intensive and mixed-use workloads such as media streaming, business analytics, OLTP and block or object storage in enterprise environments.

Fits standard 2.5" bays with hot-plug support

The drive uses the common 2.5-inch form factor and SATA interface, allowing direct installation in compatible server chassis or storage arrays without adapters. Hot-pluggable design lets administrators add or replace units while the system remains online, and the included Storage Executive tool simplifies monitoring and firmware updates.

Sustained performance with thermal safeguards

Sequential throughput reaches 540MB/s read and 520MB/s write under continuous operation. Adaptive thermal monitoring adjusts activity to keep temperatures in check during extended loads, while AES 256-bit hardware encryption and power-loss protection maintain data integrity without sacrificing steady-state speed.
