Micron 7400 MAX 1.60TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 U.3 2.5" Solid State Drive

The Micron 7400 MAX 1.60TB solid-state drive is built for modern data centers that demand high performance, reliability, and security in mixed-use workloads. Engineered for NVMe over U.3 backplanes, this 2.5-inch internal SSD leverages PCIe Gen4 speeds to deliver fast data access for virtualization, cloud services, databases, and containerized applications. With enterprise-grade endurance and TAA compliance, the 7400 MAX is designed to withstand continuous operation in demanding environments while simplifying deployment in standardized backplane architectures. Whether you’re modernizing a legacy fleet, expanding storage for a growing virtualization cluster, or accelerating analytics in a hybrid cloud, this drive is engineered to keep latency low and throughput steady under mixed-use loads.

• Performance with purpose: The Micron 7400 MAX leverages PCIe Gen4 x4 and NVMe to deliver rapid data access, enabling faster boot storms, accelerated database queries, and smoother virtualized workloads. Its architecture is tuned for mixed-use environments where latency matters as much as throughput, so you can run multiple applications with confidence without compromising on performance.
• Enterprise-grade endurance and reliability: Built to operate around the clock in data centers, the 7400 MAX emphasizes sustained performance and long-term reliability. It incorporates robust wear-leveling, advanced error correction, and data-path protections that help preserve data integrity across heavy write patterns common in virtualization, analytics, and cloud workloads. A five-year warranty and enterprise support options provide additional assurance for mission-critical deployments.
• Security and data protection: This drive includes hardware-based security features designed to protect data at rest and support secure data sanitization. With options for secure erase and encryption-capable configurations, IT teams can enforce data protection policies that align with compliance requirements in corporate environments and regulated industries.
• Flexibility for modern data centers: The 2.5-inch form factor with U.3 interface makes the Micron 7400 MAX compatible with a wide range of server backplanes and storage arrays. It is suitable for mixed-use workloads—ranging from virtualization and container orchestration to cloud-native services and large-scale analytics—making it an attractive upgrade path for both new deployments and expanding existing infrastructures.
• Management, efficiency, and lifecycle support: The drive is designed with enterprise management in mind, including monitoring and health features that help IT teams track SMART attributes, wear, and endurance. Efficient power usage and firmware-level optimizations contribute to cooler operation and lower total cost of ownership, while firmware updates from Micron help maintain security and performance over the product lifecycle.

How to install Micron 7400 MAX 1.60TB Solid State Drive

• Power down the server or workstation and unplug it from the power source. Disconnect all cables and ensure you are grounded to prevent static discharge.
• Open the drive bay or backplane slot that supports 2.5-inch U.3 NVMe drives. Remove any existing caddy or blank if needed.
• Carefully align the Micron 7400 MAX with the backplane connector, ensuring the drive is oriented correctly for insertion. Slide the drive into the bay until it seats firmly in place and the backplane contacts engage.
• Secure the drive with the appropriate mounting screws or retention mechanism as dictated by your server chassis or storage array. Reattach the drive cage or sled if applicable.
• Reconnect power and data back to the server, then power on. Enter the system BIOS/UEFI or the storage controller management utility to confirm the drive is recognized as a 2.5-inch NVMe drive in the U.3 slot.
• Within the operating system, initialize and format the new drive according to your storage policy. Create volumes or a storage pool as required by your virtualization, database, or cloud workflow. If using a storage controller, follow vendor-specific steps to allocate LUNs, pools, or RAID configurations as needed.
• Update firmware if a newer version is available and verify health/status using your preferred enterprise management tools. Run a quick health check to ensure the drive is operating within expected parameters before placing it into full production.
• Document the installation for asset management and warranty purposes, including the drive’s serial number, MAC/serial data, and installation date.
