Micron MTFDKBA960TFR-1BC15ABYYR

Overview

The Micron MTFDKBA960TFR-1BC15ABYYR is a 960 GB NVMe solid state drive designed for high-performance servers and workstations. It fits into any system with an M.2 2280 slot and uses a PCIe Gen4 x4 interface with NVMe 1.4 support, delivering read latency below two milliseconds. This drive leverages Micron’s 176 layer 3D TLC NAND to achieve up to 520,000 random read IOPS and 82,000 random write IOPS, ensuring fast access to boot volumes, log files, and analytics data.

Key features

• Low latency access that keeps system responsiveness high even under heavy workloads
• Hardware-based TCG Opal 2.0 encryption to protect data at rest without relying on host resources
• Secure Execution Environment that safeguards firmware and encryption keys from unauthorized access
• One drive write per day endurance rating suitable for read-intensive applications like server boot and content caching
• Energy-efficient operation with only eight watts power draw during sustained sequential reads, helping reduce cooling and power costs
• Robust reliability with a two million hour mean time between failures and wide operating temperature range

Performance and reliability

This SSD is engineered to deliver consistent performance in demanding environments. Its high IOPS rates and low latency make it well suited for workloads that require rapid data retrieval, such as virtual desktop infrastructure, AI inference, and content delivery. The drive’s endurance rating and total bytes written capacity ensure it can handle sustained read-intensive tasks without compromising lifespan. Additionally, the wide operating temperature range and long mean time between failures provide confidence for deployment in data centers, edge locations, and development setups.

Security and data protection

Data security is a priority with this drive. The built-in hardware encryption using TCG Opal 2.0 protects sensitive information without impacting system performance. The Secure Execution Environment further enhances security by isolating firmware and encryption keys, reducing the risk of tampering or unauthorized access. These features make the drive a strong candidate for environments with strict compliance requirements or remote deployments where physical security may be limited.

Ideal uses and environments

This SSD fits well in server and workstation configurations that demand fast, reliable storage with strong security. It is particularly effective for read-intensive workloads such as server boot drives, caching layers, virtual desktop images, and AI model inference. Its power efficiency and thermal tolerance also make it suitable for dense rack installations and edge computing scenarios where space and cooling are constrained.

Orders are processed within 2 business days, which includes verification, packing, and dispatch. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on destination, total weight, and selected speed. Free shipping applies to carts over $100 (excluding heavyweight items). All available options and final pricing are clearly shown before payment so you can choose the service that best fits your needs.

Deliveries are handled by major carriers such as USPS, UPS, and FedEx. Estimated delivery times are displayed at checkout and may vary depending on service level and location. Please note that these are estimates and can be affected by weather, holidays, or carrier volume. Once your order ships, you’ll receive a tracking number for real-time updates from pickup to final delivery.

Providing an accurate shipping address helps prevent delays, and changes may be limited once the order has been dispatched. P.O. boxes are supported only when permitted by the selected carrier. Packaging and handoff are optimized to protect items during transit, though oversized or high-weight products may require special handling. All shipping methods and any related constraints are clearly shown during checkout.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
