Axiom 960 GB encrypted enterprise SSD

The Axiom SSDEP40HD960-AX is a 960 GB solid-state drive built for server and storage arrays that require hardware encryption. It uses a SATA 6 Gb/s interface and fits a 2.5 inch drive inside a 3.5 inch hot-swap carrier. The drive meets 256-bit AES encryption standards and carries a five-year limited warranty.

Suited for encrypted hot-swap arrays.

This drive suits administrators who need hardware-encrypted storage that can be swapped without downtime in a SATA hot-swap backplane. It is not for systems that lack a 3.5 inch hot-swap bay or that require a different physical interface. Buyers needing a non-encrypted drive or a different capacity should consider other models.

256-bit AES hardware encryption decides fit

The defining specification is the 256-bit AES encryption engine integrated into the controller. If the deployment mandates hardware-based encryption at this level, the drive meets the requirement; if encryption is handled elsewhere or not required, the feature adds no value.

Questions about this item

What host interface must my server provide for the SSDEP40HD960-AX to operate?

The drive requires a SATA 600 (6 Gb/s) port; it connects through the standard SATA data and power connectors on the backplane or motherboard.

Will the 3.5 inch carrier that ships with this 2.5 inch SSD fit the same hot-swap bays I use for my existing 3.5 inch hard drives?

Yes, the included carrier matches the 3.5 inch form factor so the SSD slides into any standard 3.5 inch hot-swap tray that accepts SATA drives.

After installation, how can I verify the 256-bit AES encryption is active on the SSDEP40HD960-AX?

Use a SATA-aware utility such as hdparm or the drive's own security feature set to confirm the encryption status shows enabled and the drive reports the expected 520 MB/s read and 485 MB/s write speeds.
