Axiom SSDEV20LA480-AX 480GB Enterprise SSD

Enterprise SSD for latency-sensitive workloads

The Axiom SSDEV20LA480-AX is a 480GB enterprise solid-state drive built for data centres that require 24/7 accessibility to cloud services and applications. It uses a 2.5in hot-swap form factor with a Sata interface to integrate with existing infrastructure. V-NAND technology delivers consistent IOPS and low latency for mixed-use workloads. Enterprise-grade power-loss protection safeguards data integrity during unexpected outages.

Suited to read-intensive virtualised environments

This drive targets operators who need sustained throughput and 1.4 drive writes per day endurance for converged architectures. Buyers who want more storage capacity or a different interface should look at something else. The Sata connection limits peak bandwidth compared with newer protocols. Workloads demanding higher write endurance or different physical dimensions will not match this specification.

480GB capacity with 99K read IOPS headroom

The drive comfortably handles read-intensive application workloads with sustained read IOPS up to 99K and write IOPS up to 18K. Enhanced end-to-end data protection maintains integrity across the 480GB address space. Performance scales within the 6Gb/s Sata envelope while temperature monitoring manages thermal limits. Write-heavy workloads exceeding the 1.4 DWPD rating will run out of guaranteed endurance.
