User Manual
FAQ
What is the endurance rating of this Micron SSD, and what does it mean?
This Micron 5400 MAX SSD has a 5 DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day) endurance rating under mixed-use conditions. This means the drive can withstand writing its full capacity five times per day over its warranty period, making it suitable for server workloads that involve frequent data updates, such as database transactions, virtualization, and caching.
Does this SSD support hardware encryption?
Yes, the drive features 256-bit AES hardware encryption, which secures data at rest without impacting performance. This built-in encryption helps meet security requirements for server environments handling sensitive information, providing protection against unauthorized access if the drive is removed or decommissioned.
What form factor and interface does this SSD use?
This SSD uses a 2.5-inch form factor with a 7mm height and connects via a SATA interface, specifically the SATA/600 standard. This makes it compatible with most server drive bays and storage backplanes designed for 2.5-inch SATA drives, allowing easy integration into existing server infrastructure.
Is this SSD hot-pluggable?
Yes, the drive supports hot-plug capability, meaning it can be installed or removed while the server is powered on and operating. This feature enables maintenance, upgrades, and replacements without shutting down the server, minimizing downtime in high-availability environments.
What are the sequential read and write speeds of this SSD?
The drive delivers sequential read speeds up to 540 MB/s and write speeds up to 520 MB/s via its SATA/600 interface. These speeds ensure fast data transfer for large files and streaming workloads, while its high random IOPS performance handles small-file operations efficiently in server applications.
What type of warranty comes with this Micron SSD?
Micron provides a 5-year limited warranty for this 5400 MAX SSD. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use, offering long-term assurance for server deployments where drive reliability and manufacturer support are critical considerations.
