Axiom SSDEP65DV7T6-AX EP650 7.68 TB SAS 2.5" enterprise SSD

SKU CH-5Z8C-GH54N MPN SSDEP65DV7T6-AX

7.68 TB hot-swap enterprise SSD with 24 Gb/s SAS interface delivering up to 420,000 random read IOPS

  • 68 TB capacity supports massive enterprise datasets
  • 24 Gb/s SAS interface delivers high-throughput connectivity
  • Up to 420,000 random read IOPS accelerates transaction-heavy workloads
  • Hot-swap 2.5" form factor enables zero-downtime drive replacement
  • TLC V-NAND flash balances endurance with cost-efficient density

Enterprise SSD for Dell servers

The Axiom EP650 is a 7.68 TB SAS solid-state drive built for Dell enterprise storage arrays. Its 2.5 inch small form factor and hot-swap design allow quick replacement without powering down the chassis. This drive targets IT teams running high-traffic databases or virtualised workloads that demand consistent low-latency throughput.

24 GBps SAS interface and 420000 random read IOPS

The drive connects via a dual-port 24 GBps SAS link, delivering up to 4,200 MB/s sequential read and 1,200 MB/s sequential write. With up to 420000 4 KB random read IOPS it satisfies the single specification that determines whether the array can sustain heavy mixed read-write queues. Buyers who need a different interface or higher write endurance should evaluate other models.

TLC V-NAND flash with enterprise thermal management

TLC V-NAND flash is managed by firmware tuned for steady-state performance under sustained load. The drive operates within standard enterprise temperature and power envelopes for 2.5 inch SAS bays, producing minimal acoustic output in rack environments. No additional cooling beyond normal chassis airflow is required.

Questions about this item

What does the 24 GBps SAS speed mean for real-world throughput?

The 24 GBps SAS interface supports up to 4,200 MB/s sequential read and 1,200 MB/s sequential write, so large-block workloads can approach those ceiling speeds in a compatible backplane.

How does the SAS interface cap performance in practice?

Dual-port 24 Gb/s SAS limits the drive to 4,200 MB/s read and 1,200 MB/s write, and the 420,000 IOPS random-read peak is only reachable when the controller and backplane also run at 24 Gb/s.

What does the 2.5-inch hot-swap form factor need to fit in a server?

It requires a standard 2.5-inch SAS hot-swap bay with a 24 Gb/s-capable backplane and a controller that supports dual-port SAS connectivity.
