  • 960 GB capacity supports large enterprise workloads
  • SATA 6 Gb/s interface delivers up to 520 MB/s read speed
  • 485 MB/s write speed sustains intensive write operations
  • 256-bit AES encryption protects data at rest
  • Hot-swap 2.5" design enables drive replacement without downtime

960 GB SATA enterprise SSD

The Axiom SSDEP40LB960-AX is a 960 GB solid-state drive built for 2.5-inch hot-swap bays. It connects through a SATA 600 interface and includes 256-bit AES hardware encryption. The drive is rated for 520 MB/s sequential reads and 485 MB/s sequential writes. It carries RoHS certification and a five-year limited warranty.

Suits servers needing encrypted hot-swap storage

This drive fits administrators who require removable, encrypted SATA storage with consistent enterprise endurance. It is not for platforms that lack 2.5-inch hot-swap backplanes or SATA 600 controllers. Buyers needing capacities beyond 960 GB or interfaces other than SATA should evaluate different models.

SATA 600 interface with 256-bit AES

The single specification that determines compatibility is the SATA 600 interface combined with 256-bit AES encryption. The host system must provide a 2.5-inch hot-swap bay wired for SATA 600 to use this drive. Without that connection the drive cannot operate.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5-inch hot-swap drive into a server bay?

Slide the 2.5-inch SATA drive into a hot-swap bay until the connector seats firmly; the step people miss is not pushing far enough to engage the latch, which leaves the drive detected but not secured.

What maintenance or replacement will the 960 GB encrypted SSD need later?

The 256-bit AES encryption requires no upkeep; plan replacement when the five-year limited warranty ends or if SMART data shows media wear approaching the rated endurance.

What limit appears first during sustained writes on the 485 MB/s SATA 600 drive?

The sequential write ceiling of 485 MB/s is reached before the SATA 600 interface saturates, so sustained workloads plateau at that throughput.
