Product Features
Technical Overview
Built with enterprise-grade NAND flash, the EV100 SSD achieves sequential read speeds up to 500 MB/s and write speeds up to 260 MB/s. Its 0.3 DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day) rating and 140 TBW (Total Bytes Written) endurance classify it as a read-intensive drive, optimized for scenarios where data is frequently accessed but written less often.
The drive uses a 3.5-inch form factor with hot-swap capability, allowing for maintenance or replacement without server downtime. It connects via a standard SATA/600 interface, ensuring broad compatibility with existing server backplanes and controllers.
Relevant factors for this section include Storage Capacity, Encryption Standard, Maximum Read Transfer Rate, Maximum Write Transfer Rate. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.

FAQ
What is the storage capacity of this Axiom SSD?
This Axiom EV100 SSD has a storage capacity of 240 gigabytes (GB). This capacity is suitable for server boot drives, operating system installations, or hosting frequently accessed application files in enterprise environments.
What interface does this SSD use, and what are its speeds?
The drive uses a SATA/600 interface, with maximum sequential read speeds up to 500 MB/s and write speeds up to 260 MB/s. This interface ensures compatibility with standard server SATA controllers and backplanes.
Is this SSD hot-swappable, and what form factor does it have?
Yes, this SSD is hot-swappable and uses a 3.5-inch form factor. The hot-swap capability allows you to replace or install the drive without shutting down the server, minimizing downtime in data center operations.
What does 0.3 DWPD and 140 TBW endurance mean for this drive?
0.3 DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day) means the drive is rated to withstand having its entire capacity written 0.3 times per day over its warranty period. 140 TBW (Total Bytes Written) is the total amount of data that can be written over its lifespan. These ratings classify it as a read-intensive SSD, optimized for workloads with more reads than writes.
Which Cisco server models is this SSD compatible with?
This SSD is compatible with Cisco C240 M4 Rack-Mount Server, UCS B200 M4 Blade Server, UCS C-Series C220 M3 Rack-Mount Server, UCS C-Series C220 M4 Rack-Mount Server, and UCS C240 M3 Rack-Mount. Verify your specific server model and bay requirements before purchase.
