Product Features
Technical Overview
This SSD utilizes the SATA III (6 Gb/s) interface standard, providing a proven and widely compatible storage solution for systems that support M.2 SATA slots. The 960GB capacity offers substantial space for operating systems, applications, and user data, while the specified read and write speeds ensure snappy boot times and efficient data handling for everyday computing tasks.
The physical design adheres to the M.2 2280 specification, measuring 22 mm in width and 80 mm in depth, with a lightweight profile of approximately 1.41 ounces. As an internal drive type, it requires a compatible M.2 slot on the motherboard or an appropriate adapter card for installation in desktop systems.
Relevant factors for this section include Storage Capacity, 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.
Key Product Advantages
The Axiom C565n SSD combines dependable SATA performance with the space-saving benefits of the M.2 form factor. Its balanced read/write speeds are optimized for general-purpose computing, offering a noticeable upgrade over traditional hard drives without requiring a system with NVMe PCIe support.
Commercial-Grade Compliance
This drive is TAA compliant and RoHS certified, ensuring it meets specific regulatory standards for use in federal contracting and adheres to environmental restrictions on hazardous materials.
- TAA Compliant for government procurement
- RoHS environmental certification
Compact Installation
The M.2 2280 form factor allows for direct motherboard mounting, which is ideal for compact desktops, all-in-one PCs, and small-form-factor systems where internal space is at a premium.
- Eliminates SATA data and power cables
- Reduces internal clutter and improves airflow
Deployment / Use Cases
This SSD is designed as a primary or secondary storage drive for desktop computers and compatible motherboards. Its SATA interface and M.2 form factor make it a straightforward upgrade for systems with available M.2 SATA slots, providing a significant performance lift over mechanical hard drives.
Ideal deployment scenarios include refreshing older business desktops, upgrading small-form-factor or all-in-one PCs from manufacturers like Dell, HP, and ASUS (as indicated in the compatibility list), and building cost-effective systems where NVMe speeds are not a requirement but reliability and compliance are.
Physical Profile
The drive features a standard M.2 2280 card-style design with dimensions of 0.87 inches (22 mm) in width and 3.15 inches (80 mm) in depth. Its lightweight construction, at approximately 1.41 ounces, ensures minimal added weight to the system. The drive is secured using a single screw into the motherboard's M.2 standoff, providing a secure and vibration-free installation.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 0.87" (22 mm), 3.15" (80 mm), 1.41 oz (39.916129 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What is the storage capacity and interface of this Axiom SSD?
This Axiom C565n Series SSD offers 960GB of storage capacity and uses a SATA III (SATA/600) interface with a maximum bandwidth of 6 gigabits per second. It connects via an M.2 slot but operates on the SATA protocol, not the faster NVMe PCIe protocol.
What are the read and write speeds of this 960GB M.2 SSD?
The drive has a maximum sequential read transfer rate of 565 megabytes per second (MB/s) and a maximum sequential write transfer rate of 525 MB/s. These speeds are characteristic of SATA III SSDs and provide a significant performance improvement over traditional hard disk drives.
What does the M.2 2280 form factor mean?
M.2 2280 refers to the physical size and connector type of the SSD. 'M.2' is the slot standard, and '2280' denotes the dimensions: 22 millimeters wide and 80 millimeters long. This is the most common M.2 size and requires a corresponding M.2 slot on your motherboard for installation.
Is this SSD NVMe or SATA?
This is a SATA SSD. It uses the M.2 physical connector but communicates via the SATA III (6 Gb/s) protocol. It is not an NVMe PCIe SSD, which uses a different protocol over the M.2 connector for much higher speeds. Ensure your system's M.2 slot supports SATA mode for this drive to be compatible.
What does TAA compliance mean for this drive?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance indicates that this product meets specific country-of-origin manufacturing requirements, making it eligible for purchase by U.S. federal government agencies and other entities bound by TAA procurement rules. It is a key requirement for many government and educational IT contracts.
What kind of warranty comes with this Axiom SSD?
Axiom provides a 3-year limited warranty for this C565n Series SSD. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for a period of three years from the date of purchase, offering protection and support for your storage investment.
