Enterprise SATA SSD for Lenovo servers

The Axiom SSDEP40ID960-AX is a 960 GB solid-state drive built for internal server storage. It uses a SATA 6 Gb/s interface in a 3.5 inch hot-swap form factor and includes 256-bit AES encryption. The drive is validated for Lenovo System X3250 M5, X3300 M4, X35xx M4, X35xx M5 and X3650 M5 platforms.

Suited for SATA hot-swap bays with encryption needs

This drive fits administrators who need a hot-swappable SATA SSD with hardware encryption for the listed Lenovo systems. It is not for environments that require a different physical interface or a form factor other than 3.5 inch.

Sequential throughput up to 520 MB/s read

The maximum read transfer rate reaches 520 MB/s and the maximum write transfer rate reaches 485 MB/s over the SATA 600 interface. These figures determine whether the drive meets the performance window for the target workload.

Questions about this item

Does the 3.5" hot-swap drive fit directly into a Lenovo System X3650 M5 bay?

Yes, the SSDEP40ID960-AX is built for 3.5" hot-swap bays in the X3650 M5, X35xx M4, X35xx M5, X3300 M4 and X3250 M5 so it slides straight in.

Will the SATA 600 interface limit throughput if I keep older 3 Gb/s SATA drives in the same array?

The drive runs at SATA 600 speeds of 520 MB/s read and 485 MB/s write; older 3 Gb/s drives will simply operate at their own lower rate on the same controller.

How can I verify the 256-bit AES encryption is active after installation?

Use the RAID controller or OS disk utility to confirm the drive reports hardware encryption enabled; the 256-bit AES engine is always present on this model.
