PCIe Gen4 client SSD
Micron 3500 NVMe SSD
The Micron 3500 is Micron's PCIe Gen4 NVMe client SSD in the M.2 2280 form factor, offered in 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB with TCG Pyrite (non-SED) and TCG Opal (SED) options. Micron's category for it is performance PCs and notebooks: professional and scientific computing, gaming, and content creation. Micron describes it as the first high-performance client NVMe SSD built on 200-plus-layer NAND.

Capacity and security are the two choices: 512GB, 1TB, or 2TB, and non-SED (TCG Pyrite) or SED (TCG Opal). Moving from the Micron 3400? Our transition guide pairs each 3400 part number with its 3500 candidate.
Part numbers
The six Micron 3500 part numbers, by capacity and security option. Security is part of the number: -1BK15ABYY is the SED (TCG Opal) configuration and -1BK1AABYY is non-SED (TCG Pyrite).
| Capacity | Form factor | Non-SED (TCG Pyrite) | SED (TCG Opal) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 512GB | M.2 2280 | MTFDKBA512TGD-1BK1AABYY † | MTFDKBA512TGD-1BK15ABYY † |
| 1TB | M.2 2280 | MTFDKBA1T0TGD-1BK1AABYY † | MTFDKBA1T0TGD-1BK15ABYY † |
| 2TB | M.2 2280 | MTFDKBA2T0TGD-1BK1AABYY † | MTFDKBA2T0TGD-1BK15ABYY † |
Security options
The 3500 is offered with TCG Pyrite 2.01 (non-SED) and TCG Opal 2.02 self-encrypting (SED) firmware. The security configuration is part of the complete manufacturer part number, so match it when you cross-reference from the 3400 or another client drive. We confirm the exact part number before quoting.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Micron 3500 NVMe SSD?
+
The Micron 3500 is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe client SSD in the M.2 2280 form factor, built on Micron 232-layer TLC NAND, with up to 7,000 MB/s sequential reads and writes. It comes in 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB, and Micron positions it for performance PCs and notebooks.
What capacities and security options are available?
+
Three capacities, 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB, each in a non-SED (TCG Pyrite) and a self-encrypting SED (TCG Opal) configuration. That makes six part numbers, all M.2 2280.
Is the Micron 3500 a drop-in replacement for the 3400?
+
Not automatically. It shares the 3400's M.2 2280 form factor and PCIe Gen4 interface, which reduces migration friction, but firmware behavior, power, thermals, security configuration, host qualification, and performance can differ. Treat reuse of the old system image or qualification record as an engineering decision. Our 3400 to 3500 transition guide pairs each 3400 part number with its 3500 candidate.
What is the part number for the 2TB Micron 3500?
+
MTFDKBA2T0TGD-1BK1AABYY is the 2TB non-SED (TCG Pyrite) part and MTFDKBA2T0TGD-1BK15ABYY is the 2TB SED (TCG Opal) part. Confirm the packaging code and current production status with us before ordering.
