FAQ
What is the storage capacity of this Axiom SSD?
This Axiom EP400 Solid State Drive offers 480 GB of storage capacity. This provides substantial space for operating systems, applications, and data in enterprise environments, balancing performance with available storage for server and storage system deployments.
What interface does this SSD use, and what are its speeds?
The drive uses a SATA interface with the SATA/600 standard. It achieves a maximum sequential read transfer rate of 540 MB/s and a maximum write transfer rate of 520 MB/s. These speeds facilitate faster data access and improved system responsiveness compared to traditional hard drives.
What does the 3 DWPD endurance rating mean?
DWPD stands for Drive Writes Per Day. A rating of 3 DWPD indicates that you can write the full drive capacity (480 GB) three times every day over the warranty period without exceeding its endurance limits. This makes the drive suitable for workloads with consistent write activity, such as logging or database operations.
Is this SSD hot-swappable?
Yes, this Axiom EP400 SSD supports hot-swap functionality. This allows you to install, remove, or replace the drive in a compatible system without powering down the server or storage array, minimizing downtime during maintenance or upgrades.
What form factor is this SSD, and where can it be installed?
This SSD features a 2.5-inch form factor. It is designed as an internal drive and can be installed in standard 2.5-inch drive bays found in servers, storage systems, and some desktop computers that support SATA connections and the 2.5-inch size.
Does this SSD include any data security features?
Yes, the drive incorporates 256-bit encryption. This hardware-based encryption standard helps protect stored data by encoding it, offering a layer of security against unauthorized access in compliance-sensitive or secure enterprise environments.
