Axiom SSDEV10HB480-AX enterprise SSD 480 Gb 2.5 inch Sata 256-bit AES hot-swap

Enterprise Read-Intensive SSD

The Axiom SSDEV10HB480-AX is a 480 Gb 2.5 inch SATA solid-state drive built for data-centre deployment. It delivers sustained read and write IOPS of up to 68K and 20K respectively with a 3 DWPD endurance rating. Hardware-based 256-bit AES encryption secures data at rest while hot-swap capability simplifies maintenance in 24/7 environments.

Suited for read-heavy server workloads

This drive targets web servers, content repositories and video-on-demand platforms where consistent low-latency reads dominate. It is not designed for write-intensive databases or high-transaction OLTP systems that exceed the rated endurance. Buyers needing higher write throughput or larger capacities should evaluate alternative enterprise models.

Capacity and endurance headroom

The 480 Gb capacity provides ample space for operating-system images, cached media and repository indexes. At 3 DWPD the drive sustains heavy daily read cycles with controlled write wear, but sustained heavy write workloads will consume endurance faster than mixed-use alternatives. Power-loss protection and temperature monitoring help maintain data integrity during continuous operation.
