Micron MTFDDAK960TGB-1BC16ABYYR

Overview

The Micron MTFDDAK960TGB-1BC16ABYYR is a 960GB internal solid state drive designed for server environments that require consistent performance and reliability. It fits into a standard 2.5-inch, 7 mm bay and connects via a SATA 6 Gb/s interface, making it an ideal upgrade for servers relying on SATA backplanes. With 176-layer 3D NAND technology, this drive delivers up to 95,000 IOPS on random reads and 65,000 IOPS on random writes, along with sequential transfer speeds reaching 600 MB per second, ensuring smooth handling of database workloads, virtualization, and edge applications.

Key features

• Consistent performance that prevents latency spikes during demanding server tasks such as batch processing and analytics.
• Endurance rating supporting up to five full drive writes per day, suitable for enterprise-level workloads and data growth.
• Integrated power-loss protection safeguards data integrity during unexpected shutdowns.
• On-drive thermal monitoring helps maintain optimal performance in dense server environments by preventing overheating and throttling.
• Hardware-based self-encrypting design compliant with TCG Enterprise standards for secure data protection and regulatory compliance.
• Lightweight and compact 2.5-inch form factor with a 7 mm profile, allowing easy installation in front-accessible trays or tight edge nodes.
• Backed by a five-year limited warranty, providing confidence for long-term deployment and lifecycle management.

Connectivity and compatibility

This SSD uses a SATA 6 Gb/s interface with a standard 7-pin connector, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of existing server backplanes and storage controllers. Its 2.5-inch, 7 mm form factor fits most server bays, making it a straightforward replacement or upgrade option without requiring infrastructure changes. This makes it well suited for legacy servers with limited PCIe lanes or for adding fast cache tiers in mixed-use clusters.

Performance and reliability

The drive’s 176-layer 3D NAND technology delivers high IOPS and sequential throughput that remain stable under heavy workloads, which is critical for database operations and virtualization hosts. Its endurance rating supports frequent writes, allowing administrators to expand data sets confidently. Power-loss protection and thermal monitoring further enhance reliability by protecting data integrity and maintaining performance in demanding environments.

Ideal uses and environments

This SSD is a strong choice for data centers and enterprise servers that need to retire traditional hard drives without redesigning their storage infrastructure. It fits well in environments running database workloads, virtualization, and edge computing where predictable speed and data security are essential. Its balance of capacity, performance, and durability makes it suitable for IT professionals managing mixed-use clusters or legacy systems requiring a dependable SATA-based storage solution.

Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery. Items must be unused, in the same condition received, with tags, manuals, accessories, and original, unaltered packaging. Any item kept will be deducted from the refund. Start a return by sending us an email. Items sent back without approval may be refused or returned to the sender.

Some items are not returnable: opened TVs/combos/monitors 37″+, opened computers or software, electronic downloads, opened consumables (film, paper, bulbs, media, ink), custom or modified computers, special-order or “nonreturnable” items, submerged underwater gear, and opened educational media.

After inspection, refunds are issued to the original payment method; allow 5–7 business days for the credit to post. Shipping, handling, customs duties, and import taxes are nonrefundable. If an item is used, incomplete, or not in original condition, a 30% restocking fee may apply. Direct exchanges are not offered; purchase the replacement and return the original for a refund.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
