Axiom C565n 480GB SATA M.2 2280 SSD

The Axiom C565n is a 480GB internal solid-state drive built in the M.2 2280 form factor with a SATA III interface. It uses a Silicon Motion SM2258 controller and has no moving parts. The drive is designed for consumer workloads and is TAA compliant.

Suits SATA M.2 slots needing low power

This drive fits systems with an M.2 slot wired for SATA signalling and benefits builds where low power draw matters; idle consumption is 0.09W and active use reaches 2.1W. It operates from 0°C to 70°C and stores from -40°C to 85°C. Buyers whose platform only supports PCIe signalling on the M.2 connector must choose a different drive.

Interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the SATA III interface on an M.2 2280 connector; the slot must carry SATA signals, not PCIe lanes. Sequential speeds reach 565 MBps read and 525 MBps write, with 86,000 IOPS random read and 80,000 IOPS random write. MTBF is rated at 1,500,000 hours.

Questions about this item

Does the drive throttle at 70 °C under sustained writes?

The C565n is rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation and uses a Silicon Motion SM2258 controller with reduced power requirements to manage heat.

How much power and noise should I expect when it runs all day?

Active draw peaks at 2.1 W and idle drops to 0.09 W; with no moving parts the drive produces zero acoustic noise.

What slot and cable does my laptop or motherboard need for this M.2 2280 SATA drive?

An M.2 2280 key-M or key-B slot wired for SATA 600 is required; no separate cable is used.
