FAQ
What Dell server models is this SSD compatible with?
This Axiom EV200 SSD is compatible with Dell PowerEdge servers including the R240, R340, R440, R540, R640, R6415, R740, R740xd, R7415, R7425, R940, T340, and C6420 models. It's designed specifically for these systems with proper hot-swap functionality and firmware compatibility.
What does 1.4 DWPD endurance mean for this SSD?
DWPD stands for Drive Writes Per Day, and 1.4 DWPD means this SSD can endure 1.4 full drive writes every day over its 5-year warranty period. For a 480GB drive, this equals approximately 672GB of writes daily. This endurance rating makes it suitable for mixed-use server workloads with both read and write operations.
How does the 3.5-inch carrier work with a 2.5-inch SSD?
The SSD itself is a standard 2.5-inch form factor drive, but it comes mounted within a 3.5-inch hot-swap carrier. This allows it to fit directly into server bays designed for 3.5-inch drives while providing the performance benefits of 2.5-inch SSD technology. The carrier enables hot-swap functionality for easy replacement without server downtime.
What is the difference between TBW and DWPD ratings?
TBW (Terabytes Written) represents the total amount of data that can be written to the drive over its lifetime, which is 683TB for this SSD. DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day) indicates how many full drive writes it can handle daily over the warranty period, which is 1.4 for this model. Both metrics describe endurance but from different perspectives—total lifespan versus daily workload capacity.
Does this SSD support hardware encryption?
Yes, this Axiom EV200 SSD features 256-bit AES hardware encryption. This encryption is implemented at the drive controller level, providing data security without significantly impacting performance. It helps protect sensitive server data from unauthorized access if the drive is removed from the system.
What type of workloads is this SSD best suited for?
With its 1.4 DWPD mixed-use endurance rating, this SSD is optimized for server workloads that combine read-intensive operations with moderate write activity. Ideal applications include database logging, virtualization host storage, web server content, application caching, and file serving where consistent performance and reliability are more important than maximum throughput.
