Axiom

Axiom SSDEV20IC480-AX 480 Gb enterprise SSD

SKU CH-SY4F-H2KZ1 MPN SSDEV20IC480-AX

Hot-swap 2.5-inch Sata enterprise SSD built for read-intensive data-centre workloads with 1.4 DWPD endurance and up to 99K read IOPS

  • Optimized for latency-sensitive workloads with V-NAND technology
  • Enterprise endurance rated at 1.4 DWPD for mixed-use reliability
  • Sustained read IOPS up to 99K for high throughput
  • Hot-swap 2.5-inch Sata design fits existing infrastructure
  • Built-in power-loss protection safeguards data integrity

Axiom EV200 480 GB Sata Enterprise SSD

The Axiom SSDEV20IC480-AX is a 480 GB Sata solid-state drive built for hot-swap enterprise servers. It uses V-NAND technology to serve latency-sensitive and mixed-use workloads in data centres that run continuously. The drive is validated for Lenovo Flex System X240 M5 and System X3500 M5 2.5 inch platforms.

Suited for read-heavy mixed workloads.

This drive targets applications where high read throughput and low latency matter, such as virtualised environments and cloud services requiring 24/7 accessibility. Buyers who need sustained write performance beyond 1.4 drive writes per day or who require higher random write IOPS than 18K should consider other enterprise classes.

1.4 DWPD endurance rating defines write lifetime

The single specification that determines suitability is the 1.4 Drive Writes Per Day endurance figure. It guarantees 480 GB of daily writes for the warranty period, making the drive appropriate for read-intensive and mixed-use deployments but not for write-heavy database logging or high-frequency transaction journals.

Questions about this item

Does my server need a 2.5 inch SATA hot-swap bay to install this drive?

Yes, the SSD uses a 2.5 inch SATA 6 Gb/s hot-swap form factor, so the chassis must provide a matching bay.

Will this SSD work in my Lenovo System X3550 M5 alongside the existing mechanical drives?

The drive is validated for the X3550 M5 and other listed Lenovo servers, and its SATA interface lets it share the same backplane as older SATA HDDs.

How can I verify the drive is delivering the rated 99K read IOPS after installation?

Run a standard SATA benchmark tool such as fio or CrystalDiskMark with a 4 KB random read workload and compare the measured IOPS to the 99K specification.
