Micron 9100 MAX 2.4TB U.2 NVMe Enterprise SSD — MTFDHAL2T4MCF-BAN1ZABYYES
Technical Identity
The Micron 9100 MAX 2.4TB (MTFDHAL2T4MCF-BAN1ZABYYES) is a write-intensive enterprise NVMe solid-state drive in the U.2 2.5-inch form factor, sold by T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS as a tested refurbished unit. It pairs 16 nm Micron MLC NAND with a Microsemi 16-core, 16-channel NVMe controller over a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface implementing NVMe 1.1b. The “BAN1ZABYYES” suffix identifies an OEM-qualification variant of the standard 1AN1ZABYY part — core hardware (NAND, controller, capacity, interface, endurance class) is identical; firmware revision and the qualification batch may differ. The 9100 MAX is Micron’s high-endurance mixed-use NVMe class, sized at approximately 3 DWPD over the 5-year warranty window.

What This Is NOT
This is NOT a SATA or SAS drive — it requires a U.2 NVMe-capable bay with an SFF-8639 connector and PCIe 3.0 x4 lanes. It is NOT an M.2 device. It is NOT a read-intensive drive — the read-intensive sibling at approximately 1 DWPD is the Micron 9100 PRO. It is NOT a 7 mm-thin 2.5-inch drive — the 15 mm z-height does not fit standard laptop or 7 mm bays. It is NOT a current-generation Micron NVMe; the successor families are 9200 / 9300 / 9400 MAX and the 7450. It is NOT an NVIDIA Mellanox networking product — the “MTFD” prefix identifies Micron enterprise SSDs and has no relation to Quantum (InfiniBand) or Spectrum (Ethernet) switch ASICs. It is NOT recommended by Micron as a primary boot device.
Compatibility
The 9100 MAX 2.4 TB seats in any U.2 (SFF-8639) 15 mm hot-swap bay backed by PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe lanes — including Dell PowerEdge R630 / R730xd / R740xd NVMe configurations, HPE ProLiant DL360 / DL380 Gen9–Gen10 with NVMe backplanes, Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630 / SR650, and Supermicro Ultra and BigTwin chassis with U.2 cages. The BAN1ZABYYES firmware build is OEM-qualified — verify the exact P/N against the server vendor’s Hardware Compatibility List before deployment, since OEM-locked firmware can refuse to initialize in third-party chassis. Drivers: in-box NVMe under Linux kernel 3.3+, VMware ESXi 6.0+, and Windows Server 2012 R2+ — no vendor driver required for basic operation. Health and endurance telemetry use standard nvme smart-log output (percentage-used, available spare, data-units-written).
Use Cases
The 9100 MAX 2.4 TB targets write-heavy enterprise workloads where sustained random write IOPS and write endurance are the binding constraint: OLTP database tables and WAL/redo-log volumes (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server), VMware vSAN cache tier, Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct cache tier, hot-tier object storage on Ceph BlueStore, MongoDB WiredTiger journals, and high-throughput message-queue persistence. The 3 DWPD class makes it the right fit for write-amplification scenarios where lower-endurance read-intensive drives would exhaust their wear budget inside the warranty window.
FAQ
Q: What are the IOPS and endurance ratings of the Micron 9100 MAX 2.4TB MTFDHAL2T4MCF-BAN1ZABYYES?
A: The Micron 9100 MAX 2.4TB (MTFDHAL2T4MCF-BAN1ZABYYES) delivers up to 750,000 random 4K read IOPS and up to 300,000 random 4K write IOPS. Sequential throughput reaches 3,200 MB/s read and 2,200 MB/s write. Endurance is rated at approximately 3 DWPD with up to 9.6 PBW over the drive's lifetime.
Q: What is the difference between MTFDHAL2T4MCF-BAN1ZABYYES and MTFDHAL2T4MCF-1AN1ZABYY?
A: Both are Micron 9100 MAX 2.4TB NVMe U.2 drives with identical core hardware (16nm MLC, Microsemi controller, PCIe 3.0 x4). The BAN1ZABYYES suffix indicates a different firmware revision or OEM qualification batch. Core performance specs are the same. Verify your server vendor's HCL accepts the specific P/N before deployment.
Q: What is the condition of the Micron 9100 MAX BAN1 variant from T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS?
A: The Micron 9100 MAX 2.4TB MTFDHAL2T4MCF-BAN1ZABYYES sold by T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS at tes-itsolutions.com is refurbished and lab-tested with NVMe SMART data verification to confirm drive health, remaining endurance, and full functionality before shipment.
