Micron 9100 MAX 2.4TB U.2 NVMe Enterprise SSD - MTFDHAL2T4MCF

Micron 9100 MAX 2.4TB U.2 NVMe Enterprise SSD — MTFDHAL2T4MCF-1AN1ZABYY

Technical Identity

The Micron 9100 MAX 2.4TB (MTFDHAL2T4MCF-1AN1ZABYY) is a mixed-use enterprise NVMe SSD from Micron's first-generation flagship NVMe platform. It is a 2.5-inch U.2 (SFF-8639) drive that speaks NVMe 1.1b over a PCIe 3.0 x4 host interface. The 9100 MAX variant is the write-optimized SKU of the 9100 family, rated at approximately 3 DWPD with up to 9.6 PBW endurance. Refurbished units sold by T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS are bench-tested with NVMe SMART verification before shipment.

What This Is NOT

• NOT a consumer SSD — this is an enterprise mixed-use class drive engineered for sustained random-write workloads.
• NOT a SATA drive — it requires a PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe lane; SATA backplanes will not enumerate the device.
• NOT a read-intensive SKU — for ≈1 DWPD read-intensive duty, the Micron 9100 PRO is the correct variant.
• NOT a PCIe Gen4 drive — the 9100 platform is PCIe 3.0 only. Successors are the 9200 MAX (still Gen3) and the 9400 / 7450 (Gen4).
• NOT M.2 or AIC — only the 2.5-inch U.2 15mm form factor is supplied here.
• NOT bundled with brackets, cables, or backplane adapters unless explicitly stated.

Compatibility & Constraints

• Bay requirement: U.2 NVMe drive bay with SFF-8639 connector and PCIe 3.0 x4 (or faster, backwards-compatible) lanes routed to the slot.
• Z-height: 15mm — confirm the chassis sled accepts 15mm; standard 7mm 2.5-inch bays will not close.
• Tested platforms: Dell PowerEdge R-series, HPE ProLiant DL-series, Lenovo ThinkSystem, and Supermicro chassis with U.2 NVMe hot-swap bays.
• Boot: Micron does not validate the 9100 series as a boot device — deploy as a data / cache / scratch tier.
• Workloads: OLTP databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle) with heavy logging, VMware ESXi VM datastores, HPC scratch, real-time analytics, write-heavy caching tiers, AI/ML training data staging.
• Firmware: verify firmware revision matches your OEM-approved baseline before mixing with existing pool members.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q. What are the IOPS and endurance ratings of the Micron 9100 MAX 2.4TB MTFDHAL2T4MCF?
The Micron 9100 MAX 2.4TB (MTFDHAL2T4MCF-1AN1ZABYY) 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. Can the Micron 9100 MAX MTFDHAL2T4MCF be used as a boot drive or in a SATA bay?
No on both counts. The Micron 9100 MAX MTFDHAL2T4MCF is an NVMe U.2 drive with SFF-8639 connector over PCIe 3.0 x4. It does NOT work in SATA or SAS backplanes. Micron does NOT validate boot functionality on the 9100 series. The 15mm z-height also does NOT fit standard 7mm drive bays.

Q. What is the condition of the Micron 9100 MAX MTFDHAL2T4MCF from T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS?
The Micron 9100 MAX 2.4TB MTFDHAL2T4MCF-1AN1ZABYY 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.
