Axiom SSDEV20HC240-AX enterprise SSD 240 Gb 2.5 inch Sata

Enterprise storage for 24/7 workloads

The Axiom SSDEV20HC240-AX is a 240 Gb enterprise SSD built for latency-sensitive and mixed-use applications in data centres. It uses V-NAND technology to deliver consistent IOPS and low latency around the clock. The drive fits 2.5 inch hot-swap bays and connects via Sata 6Gb/s. It is designed for read-intensive tasks where data integrity and uptime are critical.

Upgrade from mechanical arrays

This SSD replaces traditional hard drives in servers that need higher sustained throughput without changing the existing Sata infrastructure. The jump is worth it when workloads demand up to 99K read IOPS and 18K write IOPS with 1.4 drive writes per day endurance. It lowers total cost of ownership by reducing power draw and eliminating mechanical failure points. The hot-swap design allows non-disruptive installation in live environments.

Limits of the Sata interface

The Sata 6Gb/s link caps maximum sequential throughput well below modern PCIe alternatives. Write-heavy workloads exceeding 1.4 DWPD will wear the 3-bit MLC NAND faster than rated. The 240 Gb capacity suits boot, cache or metadata tiers but not bulk data lakes. Buyers needing higher write endurance or larger single-drive capacity should evaluate other interfaces.
