Axiom Ep400 960 GB encrypted SSD

The Axiom SSDEP40DG960-AX is an enterprise-class solid-state drive with 960 GB capacity and hardware-based 256-bit AES encryption. It connects through a SATA 600 interface in a 2.5-inch form factor and supports hot-swap installation for zero-downtime maintenance. Read speeds reach 520 MB/s and write speeds reach 485 MB/s. The drive carries RoHS certification and a five-year limited warranty.

Suited for secure server arrays

This drive suits administrators who require data-at-rest encryption and hot-swap capability in existing SATA 6 Gb/s bays. The 2.5-inch size fits standard enterprise chassis and the 485 MB/s sustained write rate supports mixed read-write workloads. It is not suitable for systems that only accept PCIe-attached storage or that need higher throughput than the SATA 600 bus can deliver. Buyers who need larger capacities should look for higher-capacity models.

SATA 600 interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the SATA 600 interface. The drive will operate only in controllers and backplanes that support the SATA 6 Gb/s standard. Verify that the target system provides a 2.5-inch SATA hot-swap bay before purchase.

Questions about this item

What practical throughput does the SATA 600 interface limit this 960 GB drive to?

The SATA 600 interface caps real-world throughput at the drive's rated 520 MB/s read and 485 MB/s write.

What physical space and mounting does the 2.5" hot-swap form factor require?

It fits a standard 2.5-inch hot-swap bay with the connector and latch built into the drive carrier.

How is the 256-bit AES encryption activated during installation?

The hardware encryption is always active; the step people miss is setting the authentication key in the RAID controller or host BIOS before first use.
