Micron 2300 MTFDHBA1T0TDV NVMe 1024GB SSD OEM Benchmarks
/Take a look at some “real world” benchmarks and at a typical software benchmark. We picked this up used and it pulled from a Dell laptop. You can find them used for about $100~120 USD and they would be decent drives to be used as a cache for your FreeNAS, TrueNAS, UnRAID, or other flavor linux server. Although you could do better.
Small list of drives we would use for an Unraid Cache
Benchmarks
Here are some simple benchmarks that you might be interested in seeing using Crystal Disk.
Real World Test
From here we transferred a large video and a large zip file from a Samsung 960 Pro to the Micron 2300 from two separate systems over a 10 Gigabit network.
First Test
Sending a zipped copy of Fallout 4 over to the Micron 2300. The zipped Folder is ~94GB in size, this gif is sped up by 400% compared to real time. The transfer mostly stays around 800MB/s and trails off a bit towards the tail end while staying above 650MB/s
Second Test
Sending a video file that is about 42GB in size to the Micron 2300. The transfer does really well staying above 600MB/s and mostly sticking around 800MB/s.
Final Test
In this one we are pulling from the Micron 2300, aka “reading”. So the Micron 2300 is sending the 94GB zip file to the 960 Pro. We peak at 900MB/s and mostly sit at 800MB/s

My Use Case
I had planned on using it for my Unraid Cache but decided not to in the end. While it is fast and can be had on the cheap I decided to explore other options. Looking at the Hynix Gold P31 next. That looks very promising but we will see what happens when we do some “real world” tests. I feel like benchmarks don’t really tell me enough of the story and that’s why this page exists.
