Micron MTFDDAK3T8TDS 3.84TB 5300 PRO 2.5-Inch SATA III Enterprise SSD

Description

The Micron MTFDDAK3T8TDS belongs to the Micron 5300 PRO SSD family, an enterprise SATA storage platform developed for organizations that require dependable solid-state storage while continuing to use established SATA server infrastructure.

Offering 3.84TB of storage capacity, the drive is well suited for high-density storage applications including operating systems, application data, virtual machines, databases, file services, and frequently accessed enterprise datasets.

The SSD uses a SATA III 6Gb/s interface and TLC NAND flash memory. Its rated sequential performance reaches up to 540 MB/s read and 520 MB/s write, providing substantially faster responsiveness than traditional mechanical hard drives while maintaining compatibility with SATA-based servers and storage platforms.

The 5300 PRO 3.84TB configuration is available in a standard 2.5-inch enterprise form factor. The documented complete part MTFDDAK3T8TDS-1AW1ZABYY is specifically listed as a 3.84TB, 2.5-inch, SATA 6Gb/s Micron 5300 PRO drive. Gigabyte’s server compatibility documentation also lists this exact configuration as a supported 5300 PRO SATA SSD.

The platform supports enterprise-oriented capabilities including power-loss protection and security/encryption options, depending on the exact suffix. Micron’s 5300 family included PRO, MAX, and Boot variants, with the MTFDDAK3T8TDS model belonging to the 2.5-inch PRO family.

Important Part-Number Note

MTFDDAK3T8TDS is the base model identifier. The complete suffix identifies the exact configuration.

A commonly documented complete part number is:

MTFDDAK3T8TDS-1AW1ZABYY — 3.84TB, 2.5-inch, 5300 PRO SATA SSD.

Other complete variants include:

MTFDDAK3T8TDS-1AW15ABYY
MTFDDAK3T8TDS-1AW16ABYY

These suffixes can identify configuration-specific security and sector-format characteristics. Therefore, the complete MPN printed on the physical SSD label should be verified when a specific encryption, security, or sector configuration is required.

4. Applications

The Micron MTFDDAK3T8TDS 3.84TB is suitable for:

Enterprise servers
Data-center storage
Server boot and operating-system storage
Application servers
Database servers
Virtualization hosts
Virtual machine storage
File servers
Network-attached storage
SATA storage arrays
Business workstations
Enterprise desktops

HDD replacement
Legacy server modernization
Read-intensive applications
Enterprise application data
High-capacity SATA storage environments

Its SATA III interface makes it particularly valuable for systems that require high-capacity SSD storage but do not have NVMe drive bays.

5. Compatibility

The MTFDDAK3T8TDS is intended for systems supporting:

2.5-inch SATA SSDs
SATA III / 6Gb/s
Enterprise SATA backplanes
SATA-compatible RAID controllers
2.5-inch server drive carriers
SATA-capable workstations
Enterprise storage appliances

The exact complete MTFDDAK3T8TDS-1AW1ZABYY configuration is listed in Gigabyte server compatibility documentation as a 3.84TB Micron 5300 PRO, 2.5-inch SATA 6Gb/s SSD.

The drive may also operate on compatible lower-generation SATA interfaces, but its maximum performance will be limited by the host interface.

Important: A standard 2.5-inch bay does not automatically guarantee compatibility. Verify the server’s SATA backplane, RAID/HBA controller, drive carrier, firmware, hot-swap support, and supported-drive list before installation.
