Micron MTFDDAK256TBN – 256GB 2.5″ SATA Enterprise SSD

Micron MTFDDAK256TBN – 256GB 2.5″ SATA Enterprise SSD

Overview

The Micron MTFDDAK256TBN is a 256GB 2.5-inch SATA solid-state drive from Micron’s 1100 series, designed for OEM systems, enterprise endpoints, and industrial computing platforms. It is deployed in business laptops, embedded systems, and entry-level servers where reliable SATA-based flash storage is required rather than high-performance NVMe architectures.

The drive uses a SATA III 6Gb/s interface and 3D TLC NAND flash, providing a balance between cost efficiency, endurance, and consistent performance. It delivers sequential read speeds up to approximately 530 MB/s and write speeds around 500 MB/s, which aligns with standard SATA SSD performance expectations for enterprise-class workloads.

In deployment, this SSD is commonly integrated into OEM laptops and workstation systems as a boot drive or primary storage device. It is also used in industrial PCs and embedded systems where stable operation and predictable performance are more important than peak throughput.

The form factor is a standard 2.5-inch SATA design, making it compatible with legacy SATA drive bays in desktops, servers, and enterprise systems. It supports hot-plug capability in supported backplanes and integrates into standard SATA storage ecosystems.

A practical deployment includes enterprise endpoint systems running office workloads, virtualization clients, or industrial control applications where storage demand is moderate but reliability is critical. It is also frequently used as a factory-installed OEM drive in business laptops.

This SSD is not designed for high-performance NVMe workloads, large-scale data center storage, or write-intensive enterprise applications, as it is based on SATA bandwidth limitations and TLC endurance class positioning.

Typical Deployment Scenarios

• OEM business laptops and enterprise desktops
• Industrial embedded computing systems
• Boot drive for workstation and server platforms
• Office productivity and standard enterprise workloads
• Replacement SATA SSD in legacy systems
