Micron MTFDDAK3T8TDS-1AW16ABYYR 5300 PRO 3.84TB 2.5 SATA SSD
High-capacity SATA solid-state drive delivering 3.84TB storage with 540 MB/s reads and 520 MB/s writes
- Large 3.84TB capacity stores extensive data sets
- Sequential read up to 540 MB/s speeds up workflows
- Sequential write up to 520 MB/s handles heavy writes
- 95,000 random read IOPS improves application responsiveness
- 22,000 random write IOPS supports mixed workloads
Micron 5300 PRO 3.84TB SATA SSD
The Micron 5300 PRO is a 3.84TB solid-state drive built for read-intensive workloads in servers and storage arrays. It uses Micron 96-layer 3D TLC NAND and a SATA 6Gb/s interface to deliver consistent performance for boot, logging and content repositories.
Verify SATA 6Gb/s support and 2.5-inch bay clearance
Before ordering, confirm the host system provides a SATA 6Gb/s port and a standard 2.5-inch drive bay or compatible carrier. The drive requires a SATA data and power connection; no additional protocols such as Web, SNMP or Telnet are needed for basic storage operation.
Replaces lower-capacity or slower SATA SSDs
This drive upgrades from smaller SATA SSDs or hard drives when capacity and steady read speeds up to 540 MB/s are required. The jump is worth it for environments needing 3.84TB of endurance-rated storage with up to 95,000 random read IOPS and 22,000 random write IOPS.

Questions about this item
What is included with the Micron 5300 PRO 3.84TB SSD and do I need a separate SATA cable?
The drive is supplied as a standalone 2.5-inch SATA SSD. No cables, brackets or mounting screws are included, so a SATA data cable and a SATA power connection from the host system must be provided separately.
Should I choose the 3.84TB 5300 PRO or a different capacity for mixed read and write workloads?
The 3.84TB model delivers up to 540 MB/s sequential read, 520 MB/s sequential write, 95,000 random read IOPS and 22,000 random write IOPS. Larger capacities in the same series typically sustain higher write endurance, while smaller capacities cost less per drive but offer lower total bytes written.
What do the 540 MB/s read and 520 MB/s write figures mean once the SSD is installed in a laptop or server?
Those are maximum sequential throughput numbers over the SATA 6Gb/s link. Real-world speeds depend on the host controller, queue depth, thermal limits and the mix of compressible versus incompressible data, so sustained transfers will often be lower than the peak ratings.
