  • 256-bit AES encryption protects stored data
  • 960 GB capacity fits demanding enterprise workloads
  • 520 MB/s maximum read transfer rate accelerates data access
  • 485 MB/s maximum write transfer rate sustains heavy write loads
  • 5-inch hot-swap form factor enables drive replacement without downtime

Enterprise SSD for Lenovo servers

The Axiom SSDEP40IB960-AX is a 960 GB 2.5" SATA solid-state drive built for hot-swap bays in Lenovo System X32Xx M2, X3350, X35Xx, X35Xx M2 and X36 platforms. It delivers hardware-based 256-bit AES encryption and a 5-year limited warranty for data-centre workloads that require removable, secured storage.

Sustained throughput on SATA 6 Gb/s

Sequential reads reach 520 MB/s and writes reach 485 MB/s across the SATA 600 interface, so the drive maintains consistent bandwidth during long backup windows or database scans rather than only in short bursts. The EP400 series is designed to keep those rates stable under continuous enterprise I/O patterns.

Thermal and power profile in a hot-swap chassis

The 2.5" form factor fits standard server carriers where forced airflow from chassis fans keeps temperatures in check without a dedicated cooler. Power draw stays within typical SATA SSD limits, so the drive adds minimal load to the backplane and runs quietly inside the enclosure.

Questions about this item

Does the 520 MB/s read and 485 MB/s write rate cause noticeable heat or power draw during all-day operation?

The Sata 600 interface and 256-bit encryption engine keep power use low, and the 2.5-inch form factor fits standard server bays with adequate airflow for continuous duty.

What must my server already provide for this hot-swap drive to function?

A 2.5-inch Sata hot-swap bay with 6 Gb/s backplane support and a drive cage that accepts the 960 GB capacity.

Will this encrypted SSD work in an older Lenovo System X32xx or X35xx that still runs mechanical drives?

Yes, it drops into the same Sata 600 hot-swap slots used by those systems and the 256-bit AES encryption operates transparently alongside legacy spinning disks.
