Micron 5400 MAX 1.92 TB SATA SSD — 2.5" Internal, Mixed Use

The Micron 5400 MAX 1.92 TB Solid State Drive is engineered for the realities of modern data centers and demanding mixed-use workloads. As the world’s first 176-layer data center SATA SSD, it combines Micron’s long-standing SATA heritage with the density and efficiency of next-gen 176-layer 3D NAND. With a 2.5" form factor and a SATA/600 interface, this drive delivers reliable, scalable storage performance for databases, virtualization, caching, and bulk storage—from rack-scale servers to high-density storage arrays. Designed to balance performance, endurance, and power efficiency, the 5400 MAX helps data centers accelerate I/O-intensive operations while reducing total cost of ownership through predictable latency and improved energy efficiency.

• 176-layer 3D NAND technology: This high-density flash stack delivers strong endurance, higher capacity per die, and improved power efficiency. By leveraging Micron’s 176-layer architecture, the 5400 MAX enables sustained performance for mixed-use workloads, helping to reduce write amplification and extend drive life even under heavy global write traffic.
• Optimized for mixed-use workloads: Engineered to handle a blend of read-heavy, write-heavy, and random I/O tasks, including databases, online transaction processing, virtualization, and caching layers. The drive maintains steady throughput and low latency across varied traffic patterns, which translates into faster query responses and smoother virtualization performance without the need for constant tiering.
• Broad compatibility with 2.5" form factor and SATA/600 interface: Designed for widespread integration in servers, workstations, and storage arrays. The 2.5" internal design fits standard drive bays, while the SATA/600 interface offers reliable, widely-supported connectivity with legacy and modern platforms alike, simplifying upgrades and replacements in complex data-center environments.
• Enterprise-grade reliability for data integrity: Built to deliver sustained reliability in data-center scenarios, with robust data integrity features that help protect against bit errors and ensure consistent performance under mixed workloads. The drive is engineered for long-term operation in demanding environments, with focus on predictable behavior and durable endurance across the workload spectrum.
• Efficient design for lower total cost of ownership: By combining high-density NAND, energy-efficient operation, and proven Micron SATA architecture, the 5400 MAX reduces power draw and cooling requirements while delivering competitive performance. This translates to lower operating expenses, easier capacity planning, and improved data-center density without compromising reliability or availability.
