Axiom EP400 480GB 2.5" SATA enterprise SSD for Dell

SKU CH-0ZFC-XB7NV

480 GB 2.5″ SATA enterprise SSD with 256-bit encryption, hot-swap support and up to 525 MB/s read / 485 MB/s write speeds

  • 480 GB capacity supports demanding enterprise workloads
  • 525 MB/s maximum read speed accelerates data access
  • 485 MB/s maximum write speed handles intensive write operations
  • 256-bit encryption protects sensitive data at rest
  • Hot-swappable 2.5" SATA design enables drive replacement without downtime

Dell-Validated Enterprise SSD

The Axiom EP400 is a 480GB 2.5-inch SATA solid-state drive built for Dell servers and storage arrays. It delivers sequential reads up to 525 MB/s and writes up to 485 MB/s over a SATA 600 interface. Hardware-based 256-bit encryption protects data at rest, and the drive is hot-swappable for zero-downtime replacement. RoHS compliance confirms environmentally responsible manufacturing.

Suits Dell servers needing SATA capacity

This drive fits administrators expanding or refreshing Dell platforms that accept 2.5-inch SATA hot-swap bays. The five-year limited warranty aligns with typical infrastructure refresh cycles. Builders whose chassis lack 2.5-inch SATA hot-swap support, or who require higher throughput than the SATA 600 interface provides, should evaluate alternative form factors or interfaces.

SATA 600 interface governs compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the SATA 600 drive interface. Only systems with a native SATA 600 backplane or controller can realise the stated 525 MB/s read and 485 MB/s write performance. Verify the server’s drive bay and controller specification before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5" SATA 600 interface work in an older server backplane that only supports SATA 300?

The drive is backward-compatible with SATA 300 backplanes; it will operate at the lower link speed while retaining the 480 GB capacity and 256-bit encryption.

How can I verify the EP400 is delivering its rated 525 MB/s read and 485 MB/s write after installation?

Run a sequential benchmark such as CrystalDiskMark or fio with a 1 MB block size; sustained results near 525 MB/s read and 485 MB/s write confirm expected performance.

Does the EP400 ship with a drive tray or mounting bracket, or must I supply my own?

The unit is supplied as a bare 2.5" hot-swappable drive; any Dell-specific caddy or bracket must be sourced separately.
