  • 3 DWPD endurance rating ensures reliable 24/7 data center operation
  • 256-bit AES hardware encryption protects sensitive enterprise data
  • Hot-swap 2.5" Sata design enables drive replacement without downtime
  • Low power consumption with enhanced power-loss protection reduces operating costs

Enterprise read-intensive SSD

The Axiom SSDEV10IB480-AX is a 480 GB 2.5 inch Sata solid-state drive built for hot-swap bays in Lenovo System X servers. Hardware-based 256-bit AES encryption protects data at rest without host software overhead. It targets IT teams running web servers, content repositories or video-on-demand platforms that need consistent low-latency access around the clock.

Sustained 3 DWPD endurance

Rated at three drive writes per day, the EV100 maintains up to 68K read IOPS and 20K write IOPS under continuous load rather than brief bursts. Enhanced power-loss protection and end-to-end data integrity features preserve consistency during unexpected outages. Low power consumption and on-board temperature monitoring help the drive stay stable inside dense 24/7 chassis.

Replaces mechanical arrays in read-heavy tiers

The drive upgrades spinning-disk capacity tiers where random-read latency limits throughput for media streaming or web hosting. The jump is worth it when the workload fits the 3 DWPD write budget and the server supports hot-swap 2.5 inch Sata trays. It is not suited for write-intensive databases or caches that exceed the specified endurance envelope.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 480 GB Sata SSD draw during all-day read-intensive workloads?

Low power consumption is a featured design goal for 24/7 data-centre operation, keeping heat and noise minimal in dense server bays.

Which server drive bay and controller does the 2.5-inch hot-swap Sata SSD require?

It fits a standard 2.5-inch hot-swap bay with a Sata 6Gb/s backplane, as used in Lenovo System X32Xx M2, X3350, X35Xx, X35Xx M2 and X3650 M2 platforms.

Will the 256-bit AES encrypted Sata SSD work in an older Sata 3Gb/s backplane without losing encryption?

The drive negotiates down to 3Gb/s while retaining full 256-bit AES encryption and power-loss protection on legacy controllers.
