  • 960 GB capacity meets high-density storage needs
  • 520 MB/s sequential read speeds accelerate data access
  • 485 MB/s sequential write speeds sustain heavy workloads
  • 256-bit AES encryption protects sensitive data at rest
  • Hot-swap 3.5" design enables drive changes without downtime

Enterprise storage for servers

The Axiom SSDEP40LE960-AX is a 960 GB enterprise SSD built for 3.5 inch hot-swap bays. It connects over SATA 600 and includes 256-bit AES encryption. The drive targets administrators who need reliable internal storage in compatible server chassis.

Check bay and controller compatibility

Verify that your system provides a 3.5 inch hot-swap bay with a SATA 600 backplane. The drive requires a standard SATA data and power connection. Ensure the RAID controller or HBA supports SATA SSDs and can present the 960 GB capacity to the operating system.

Thermal and power profile in normal use

The 3.5 inch form factor allows the drive to dissipate heat through the chassis airflow. With sequential reads up to 520 MB/s and writes up to 485 MB/s, power draw remains within typical SATA SSD limits. No active cooling is required beyond standard server ventilation.

Questions about this item

Does the 3.5 inch hot-swap SSD ship with a drive caddy or mounting hardware?

The drive uses a standard 3.5 inch hot-swap form factor designed to slide directly into compatible server bays.

Is the 960 GB capacity the only option in the EP400 series?

This model is the 960 GB variant of the EP400 line with 256-bit AES encryption and SATA 600 interface.

Will the 520 MB/s read speed be sustained in a RAID array?

The 520 MB/s maximum read and 485 MB/s write rates are interface-limited peaks; sustained throughput depends on the RAID controller and workload.
