Enterprise 480 GB SATA SSD

The Axiom SSDEV20IE480-AX is a 480 GB enterprise solid-state drive built for hot-swap server bays. It connects through a SATA 600 interface and fits a 3.5 inch form factor while using a 2.5 inch drive carrier. The drive targets IT teams upgrading Lenovo System X32Xx M2, X3400, X3500 M2, X3500 M3, X35Xx, X36Xx M3, X3755 and X3755 M3 platforms.

Thermals and power in normal use

Sequential reads reach 525 MB/s and writes reach 460 MB/s over the SATA 600 link. The drive carries RoHS environmental certification and is rated for a 3 year limited warranty period. No active cooling or specific airflow figures are provided by the manufacturer for typical workloads.

Hot-swap tray and firmware support

The hot-swap capability allows drive replacement without powering down the server chassis. A 2.5 inch drive carrier is included to adapt the unit to 3.5 inch bays. Firmware and management utilities are supplied by Lenovo for the listed System X series; no additional third-party software bundle is mentioned.

Questions about this item

How do I install this 3.5 inch Sata 600 hot-swap drive in a Lenovo X3500 M2 bay?

Slide the drive into the hot-swap bay until the connector seats firmly; the tray handle locks automatically. The step most people miss is verifying the drive appears in the RAID controller BIOS before loading the OS.

What maintenance or replacement will this 480 GB enterprise SSD need after three years?

The three-year limited warranty covers the drive; after that period plan to replace the unit rather than service it, as enterprise SSDs have no user-replaceable parts.

At what point does sustained write speed hit its limit on this 480 GB model?

The maximum write transfer rate is 460 MB/s; under continuous heavy writes the drive will throttle to stay within that ceiling and its thermal envelope.
