Axiom EP400 480GB enterprise SSD

The Axiom EP400 is a 480GB 3.5-inch internal solid-state drive built for server and storage arrays. It connects through a SATA 6Gb/s interface and supports hot-swap installation in compatible drive bays. The drive carries 256-bit encryption and meets RoHS environmental standards.

Suited for capacity-focused server upgrades

This drive fits administrators who need reliable bulk storage for read-heavy workloads such as web serving, logging or backup repositories. Its 525 MB/s maximum read and 485 MB/s maximum write speeds serve those tasks well. Buyers who need higher random IOPS for transactional databases or low-latency caching should look at drives with faster controller architectures.

Integrates into 3.5-inch hot-swap bays

The 3.5-inch form factor slides directly into standard large-form-factor server chassis without adapters. Hot-swap capability lets technicians replace the drive without powering down the host system. SATA 6Gb/s connectivity works with existing RAID controllers and backplanes, freeing PCIe slots for other expansion cards.

Questions about this item

Will this 480 GB drive work with the 3.5" hot-swap bay already in my server?

Yes, the 3.5" form factor and hot-swappable design match standard LFF bays so it slides straight in.

Does the SATA 600 interface slow down when paired with an older SATA 3 Gbit/s controller?

The drive negotiates the link speed automatically and will run at the controller's maximum rate.

How can I confirm the 525 MB/s read and 485 MB/s write speeds are being reached?

Run a sequential benchmark such as CrystalDiskMark or fio and compare the results with the rated 525 MB/s read and 485 MB/s write figures.
