SKU CH-6NDZ-0FWW6 MPN EP650

Hot-swappable 2.5" SAS enterprise SSD delivering 960 GB capacity, 24 Gb/s transfer rate and up to 420000 random read IOPS

  • Hot-swap 2.5" SAS SSD simplifies server maintenance
  • 24 GBps SAS interface accelerates data throughput
  • 960 GB TLC V-NAND capacity stores critical workloads
  • 420,000 random read IOPS speeds transaction processing
  • Dual-port SAS design ensures path redundancy

Enterprise storage drive for high-traffic servers

The Axiom EP650 is a 960 GB 2.5 inch SAS solid-state drive built for enterprise arrays that demand consistent throughput. Its hot-swap design lets administrators replace the drive without powering down the chassis, keeping critical workloads online during maintenance windows.

SAS 24 Gb/s interface caps sustained throughput

The dual-port SAS link runs at 24 Gb/s, which sets the hard ceiling for sequential transfer rates at 4 200 MB/s read and 1 200 MB/s write. Random 4 KB reads reach up to 420 000 IOPS, but any workload that exceeds the bus bandwidth will queue at the controller rather than the media.

Verify controller, backplane and bay compatibility

Confirm that your RAID controller or HBA supports 24 Gb/s SAS and that the backplane wiring matches the dual-port pinout. The 2.5 inch form factor fits standard SFF bays, but older 12 Gb/s backplanes will throttle the drive to half its rated link speed.

Questions about this item

Which version of the Axiom EP650 should I choose for my server?

The EP650 is offered as a single 960GB model with a 2.5" SAS form factor, so there are no alternative capacities or interfaces to select from.

What does the 24 GBps transfer rate mean once the drive is installed?

The 24 GBps SAS interface provides the maximum bus bandwidth; actual throughput depends on workload, controller and system configuration.

How does the SAS interface cap performance in practice?

The dual-port 24Gb/s SAS link sets the hard ceiling for sequential and random I/O, limiting peak throughput to the bus speed.
