Crucial MTFDKCC12T8TFS-1BC15ABYYR 12800 GB internal SSD 2.5" U.3 PCIe 4.0 NVMe

SKU CH-N1ZP-CR4Y1 MPN MTFDKCC12T8TFS-1BC15ABYYR

Enterprise U.3 NVMe SSD with 12800 GB capacity, 3 DWPD endurance and TCG Opal 2.0 encryption

  • Device TypeExternal Solid State Drive (SSD)
  • 12800 GB capacity stores massive enterprise datasets
  • 6800 MBps sequential read accelerates large-file workloads
  • 5600 MBps sequential write sustains heavy ingest pipelines
  • 1000000 random read IOPS powers low-latency database queries
  • 3 DWPD endurance rating ensures five-year write confidence

Enterprise NVMe SSD

This Crucial 12800 GB internal SSD uses a 2.5 inch U.3 form factor with a PCIe 4.0 NVMe interface. It delivers sequential speeds of 6800 MBps read and 5600 MBps write. The drive is built for enterprise workloads with a 3 DWPD endurance rating and 70000 TB total bytes written.

Suited for write-intensive servers

The 3 DWPD rating and 70000 TB endurance target heavy write workloads in data centres. Random performance reaches 1000000 IOPS read and 410000 IOPS write. Buyers needing lower write endurance or a different physical connector should look elsewhere.

Hardware encryption and compliance

Self-Encrypting Drive technology with TCG Opal Encryption 2.0 protects data at rest without host software overhead. The drive also meets TAA compliance requirements for government procurement. A 2,000,000 hour MTBF and one non-recoverable error per 10^17 bits read underline its reliability focus.

Questions about this item

How is the 2.5" U.3 NVMe drive installed and what step is often missed?

Slot the drive into a U.3 backplane or carrier; the PCIe 4.0 x4 link and 12 V power are delivered through the single connector, so a separate power cable is not used.

What maintenance or replacement will the 12800 GB enterprise SSD need later?

Rated at 3 DWPD and 70000 TB total writes, the drive will reach its endurance limit after that amount of data has been written; plan replacement once the SMART media‑wear indicator approaches 100 %.

What limit appears first on the MTFDKCC12T8TFS-1BC15ABYYR under sustained heavy write loads?

Continuous writes at the 5600 MBps sequential rate can only be maintained until the 70000 TB endurance budget is consumed; the wear limit is reached before thermal throttling becomes a factor.
