Axiom SSDEV10IC480-AX enterprise SSD 480 GB 2.5" SATA 256-bit AES hot-swap

Enterprise read-intensive SSD

The Axiom SSDEV10IC480-AX is a 480 GB 2.5-inch SATA solid-state drive built for data-centre servers. It targets read-intensive workloads such as web serving, content repositories and video-on-demand platforms. The drive supports hot-swap installation in compatible Lenovo Flex System and System x bays. Hardware-based 256-bit AES encryption protects data at rest without host software overhead.

Thermals and power profile

On-board temperature monitoring lets the chassis management controller track thermal status continuously. Low power consumption helps dense server deployments stay within chassis power budgets during sustained operation. Enhanced power-loss protection preserves in-flight writes if supply voltage drops unexpectedly. Consistent I/O latency is maintained across the operating temperature range.

Encryption and endurance aids

The 256-bit AES engine secures every block automatically, simplifying compliance for regulated datasets. Standard Endurance Technology delivers 3 drive writes per day for five years, matching typical read-heavy service cycles. End-to-end data path protection guards against silent corruption from controller to flash. Sustained performance reaches 68K read and 20K write IOPS for steady queue depths.
