Micron MTFDKCC7T6TGP-1BK1DABYYR — 7.68TB 7500 PRO U.3 NVMe Gen4 Data Center SSD (SED)
The Micron 7500 PRO 7.68TB is a data center–class NVMe SSD built for high-performance, low-latency storage in servers and storage arrays. This specific part number is a 2.5" U.3 (15mm) drive on PCIe Gen4 x4 (NVMe), designed for read-intensive workloads where consistent performance and strong security matter.
Who it’s for
Ideal for:
-
Data centers / cloud providers running virtualization, container platforms, and mixed application stacks
-
Database, content delivery, analytics, and AI pipelines that need high throughput and predictable QoS latency
-
Organizations that require hardware-based encryption (SED) for compliance, decommissioning, or drive-removal scenarios
Why this model (highlights)
-
Mainstream Gen4 performance with strong throughput and IOPS (great for busy server workloads)
-
SED security: TCG Opal 2.01 + AES-256 hardware encryption (this part number’s firmware feature code indicates the Opal SED option)
-
U.3 single-port design that’s backwards compatible with U.2 in many platforms

FAQ
1) Is this drive PCIe Gen4?
Yes — the Micron 7500 series is PCIe Gen4, and the part numbering indicates K = PCIe Gen4.
2) Is it a self-encrypting drive (SED)?
Yes — this configuration supports TCG Opal 2.01 SED with AES-256 hardware encryption, and the part numbering shows the firmware feature option for TCG Opal 2.01.
3) Will it work in a U.2 backplane?
It’s a U.3 drive and the spec notes U.3 single-port (x4) backwards compatible with U.2—platform compatibility still depends on the server/backplane.
4) What workloads is “7500 PRO” best for?
The PRO line is the read-intensive family (commonly used for virtualization, databases, CDN/content delivery, analytics, and similar workloads).
5) Does it deliver enterprise-grade performance?
Yes — Micron’s technical spec lists up to 7,000 MB/s sequential read and up to 1.1M random read IOPS (workload and server configuration will impact real results).
