Micron 5300 PRO 480GB M.2 2280 SATA 6Gb/s Internal SSD

The Micron MTFDDAV480TGA-1BC1ZABYYR is a 480 GB internal solid state drive that installs directly into an M.2 2280 slot and communicates over the familiar SATA 6 Gb/s bus. It relies on 3D TLC NAND built with 96 layers, so it combines dense storage with consistent, low latency access.

Sequential reads reach up to 540 MB/s and writes up to 520 MB/s, while random performance is measured at roughly 95,000 IOPS for reads and 37,000 IOPS for writes. With an endurance rating of 1.5 drive writes per day across five years, the drive can tolerate repeated image updates, log storage, and cache activity without slipping out of warranty.

Typical deployments include server boot volumes, virtual machine libraries, database query stores, and edge appliances that stream data back to a core infrastructure. Wherever workloads lean heavily on reads and require predictable response times, this drive performs dependably.

Enterprise safeguards such as power loss protection preserve data in flight, and adaptive thermal monitoring throttles activity only when temperatures threaten component health. An expected lifetime of three million hours and a five year limited warranty reduce sudden failure risks and simplify capacity planning.

For teams that need SATA compatibility, fast boot speeds, and documented reliability, the Micron 5300 PRO provides an upgrade path that feels effortless and pays off immediately in reduced wait times and maintenance calls.
