Micron 9200 MAX 1.6TB U.2 NVMe Enterprise SSD — MTFDHAL1T6TCU-1AR1ZABYY (Refurbished)
Technical Identity
This is the Micron 9200 MAX 1.6TB U.2 NVMe Enterprise SSD, MPN MTFDHAL1T6TCU-1AR1ZABYY, a refurbished 2.5-inch / 15mm U.2 NVMe data-center solid-state drive sold by T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS. The 9200 MAX is Micron's second-generation flagship NVMe SSD platform, positioned as the write-intensive / mixed-use variant rated at 3 DWPD over a 5-year warranty period, built on Micron's own 3D TLC NAND with FlexPro firmware architecture. It uses a PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe host interface over an SFF-8639 (U.2) connector and is intended for data-center servers, hyperconverged platforms, and write-heavy enterprise workloads such as OLTP databases, VM datastore acceleration, and storage-tier caching.

What This Is NOT
This is NOT a consumer-grade SSD — it is a data-center enterprise drive with PLP, end-to-end protection, and 3 DWPD endurance.
This is NOT a SATA or SAS device. It is NVMe over PCIe 3.0 x4 and will not enumerate in SATA or SAS backplanes.
This is NOT an M.2 drive — the form factor is 2.5-inch U.2 (15 mm), not M.2 2280.
This is NOT the read-intensive variant — that is the Micron 9200 PRO (~1 DWPD); this MAX SKU is for write-intensive / mixed-use workloads.
This is NOT a PCIe 4.0 drive — the 9200 series is PCIe 3.0 only; PCIe Gen4 successors are the Micron 7450 and 9400.
This is NOT recommended by Micron as a system boot device.
Compatibility
The Micron 9200 MAX MTFDHAL1T6TCU-1AR1ZABYY requires a server with a U.2 NVMe-capable drive bay terminated in an SFF-8639 connector and a PCIe 3.0 x4 (or Gen4 backward-compatible) lane wired to the U.2 slot. The 15 mm z-height requires a 15 mm-compatible 2.5-inch bay; it will not fit in 7 mm bays. Validated host platforms include Dell PowerEdge R-series (R640, R740xd, R7415 with U.2 backplane), HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 with NVMe drive cages, Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630/SR650 NVMe configurations, and Supermicro X11/H11 platforms with NVMe-capable backplanes. The drive is OS-agnostic at the NVMe layer and is supported by VMware ESXi 6.5+, Microsoft Windows Server 2016+, RHEL/CentOS 7+, Ubuntu Server 18.04+, and ESXi-compatible distributions of vSAN. Note that vSAN HCL eligibility and OEM-branded firmware lock-in depend on the host server vendor — this is the generic Micron MPN, not an OEM-tray firmware variant.
FAQ
What is the endurance rating and IOPS performance of the Micron 9200 MAX 1.6TB MTFDHAL1T6TCU?
The Micron 9200 MAX 1.6TB (MTFDHAL1T6TCU-1AR1ZABYY) is rated at 3 DWPD endurance over 5 years and delivers up to 840,000 random 4K read IOPS at steady state with sequential read throughput up to 3,500 MB/s over PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe.
Can the Micron 9200 MAX MTFDHAL1T6TCU be used as a boot drive or in a SATA bay?
No on both counts. The Micron 9200 MAX MTFDHAL1T6TCU is an NVMe U.2 drive with SFF-8639 connector. It does NOT work in SATA or SAS backplanes. Micron does NOT recommend the 9200 series as a bootable device. The 15mm z-height also does NOT fit standard 7mm drive bays.
