Dell Micron 5400 PRO 480GB Enterprise SATA SSD (DTPR7-CDL-DEL) – SATA 6Gb/s, Up to 540 MB/s, 2.5″ (7mm)

The Dell Micron 5400 PRO 480GB (DTPR7-CDL-DEL) is a 2.5″ (7mm) enterprise SATA SSD with SATA 6Gb/s connectivity and up to 540 MB/s read and 520 MB/s write. It is built for servers, storage arrays and virtualized workloads where consistent latency and data protection matter.

Enterprise flash built for 24/7 workloads.

Why Servers Need Enterprise SSDs, Not Client Drives

Client SSDs are tuned for short bursts of activity. Under sustained server load their performance can drop sharply, and without power-loss protection a sudden outage can corrupt data still held in the drive’s cache.

The Dell Micron 5400 PRO 480GB is designed for continuous enterprise duty with firmware tuned for consistent latency, power-loss protection and an endurance rating suited to read-intensive workloads. As a Dell part, it carries Dell firmware for full PERC and iDRAC support.

Predictable Performance Under Load

SATA 6Gb/s connectivity and enterprise firmware keep latency steady for databases, VMs and file services. Sequential speed reaches up to 540 MB/s read and 520 MB/s write.

Built for Data Protection

Power-loss protection capacitors flush in-flight data to flash if power is lost, protecting array integrity.

Setup Instructions

How to Install the Dell Micron 5400 PRO 480GB

1. Check that your server, backplane or HBA supports this interface and form factor.
2. Install the SSD in the correct drive carrier.
3. Hot-insert it into the bay (if supported) and confirm detection in the controller or iDRAC/BMC.
4. Add it to a RAID set, storage pool or cache tier and enable health monitoring.
