Axiom EP400 960 GB SATA SSD

The Axiom EP400 is a 960 GB enterprise solid-state drive built for 2.5-inch hot-swap bays. It connects through a SATA 600 interface and delivers sequential reads up to 520 MB/s and writes up to 485 MB/s. Hardware-based 256-bit AES encryption protects stored data. The drive carries RoHS certification and a five-year limited warranty.

Check SATA 600 bay and encryption needs

Verify that your server or array accepts 2.5-inch hot-swap SATA drives and that the backplane runs at SATA 600 speeds. Confirm the controller or operating system can manage the 256-bit AES encryption if you plan to use it. Ensure the drive’s physical height matches the bay specification before ordering.

Hot-swap design and encryption simplify deployment

Hot-swap capability lets you replace the drive without powering down the system, reducing service interruption. Built-in 256-bit AES encryption secures data at rest without extra software overhead. RoHS compliance meets common environmental procurement rules. The five-year limited warranty reflects the manufacturer’s endurance rating for enterprise workloads.

Questions about this item

What comes with the Axiom SSDEP40LA960-AX drive and what must I buy separately?

The drive is a hot-swappable 2.5 inch SATA unit with 256-bit AES encryption. A compatible drive bay or carrier for your server chassis is not included and must be sourced separately.

How do I choose between the Ep400 versions for my workload?

This model is the 960 GB Ep400 variant delivering up to 520 MB/s read and 485 MB/s write over SATA 600. Select the capacity that matches your storage pool size and write-endurance requirements.

What do the 520 MB/s read and 485 MB/s write figures mean once the drive is installed in a server?

They represent the maximum sequential transfer rates over the SATA 600 interface. Real-world throughput will depend on the controller, queue depth and the mix of random versus sequential I/O in your application.
