Axiom 960 GB enterprise SSD in 3.5 inch hot-swap tray, silver metal finish

Axiom

Axiom SSDEV20ID960-AX enterprise SSD 960 GB SATA 3.5" hot-swap

SKU CH-EKFP-0456G MPN SSDEV20ID960-AX

Enterprise 960 GB SATA SSD with 3.5-inch hot-swap form factor, 520 MB/s read and 475 MB/s write speeds for compatible Lenovo servers

  • 960 GB capacity stores large enterprise datasets
  • 520 MB/s read speed accelerates data access
  • 475 MB/s write speed handles intensive workloads
  • Hot-swap 3.5" form factor enables zero-downtime maintenance
  • SATA 600 interface integrates with Lenovo System X servers

Purpose and fit

This enterprise solid-state drive provides 960 GB of internal storage in a 3.5 inch hot-swappable tray for compatible Lenovo servers. It is built for IT teams that need reliable SATA storage in supported System X3250 M5, X3300 M4, X35Xx M4, X35Xx M5, X3650 M5 and X36Xx M4 platforms. Buyers who need a different capacity or a non-hot-swap form factor should look elsewhere.

Interface limits

The drive connects through a SATA 6 Gb/s interface with maximum sequential read and write speeds of 520 MB/s and 475 MB/s respectively. These rates are the practical ceiling of the SATA/600 standard, so the drive will not exceed them regardless of the host controller. Workloads that demand higher throughput than SATA can deliver will not be satisfied by this device.

Deciding specification

The 3.5 inch hot-swap form factor combined with the specific Lenovo server compatibility list is the single detail that determines whether this part fits the target system. If the chassis or drive bay does not match these exact models, the drive cannot be installed or used as intended.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 960 GB version or a smaller capacity for my Lenovo System X3650 M5?

The 960 GB capacity provides ample space for operating systems, databases and virtual machines in the supported Lenovo servers, and is the only capacity listed for this model.

What do the 520 MB/s read and 475 MB/s write speeds mean for my System X3250 M5?

Those are the maximum sequential transfer rates the drive can sustain over the SATA 6 Gb/s link; real-world performance will depend on the workload and the server's storage controller.

Does the SATA 6 Gb/s interface limit performance in a Lenovo X35Xx M4?

The SATA 6 Gb/s (SATA/600) interface caps the theoretical bandwidth at 600 MB/s, so the drive's 520 MB/s read and 475 MB/s write speeds operate near that ceiling.
