Axiom 816889-B21-AX enterprise SSD 240 Gb 2.5" Sata

Built for Latency-Sensitive Workloads

The Axiom 816889-B21-AX EV200 is a 240 Gb enterprise solid state drive designed for read-intensive applications in data center environments. It targets operators who need 24/7 accessibility for cloud services and virtualized architectures. The hot-swap 2.5 inch form factor allows installation without powering down the server chassis. It is not suited for buyers who need write-heavy endurance beyond the rated specifications.

SATA 6Gb/s Interface Limits

The drive connects through a SATA interface running at 6Gb/s, which caps maximum sequential throughput below what PCIe-based alternatives can deliver. This interface enables capacity expansion using existing IT infrastructure without requiring a platform refresh. Sustained performance reaches up to 99K read IOPS and 18K write IOPS within that bandwidth envelope. Builders who need higher queue depths or lower protocol latency should evaluate different interface standards.

V-NAND Build With Power-Loss Protection

Built with 3-bit MLC V-NAND flash technology, the drive offers enhanced enterprise endurance rated at 1.4 Drive Writes Per Day. Enterprise-grade power-loss protection and power failure protection safeguard data integrity during unexpected outages. A temperature sensor provides continuous monitoring for thermal management. Low power consumption helps reduce total cost of ownership in dense deployments.
