960 GB SAS enterprise SSD for Dell servers

The Axiom EP650 is a 2.5 inch hot-swappable solid-state drive built for enterprise storage. It connects through a 24 Gb/s SAS interface and provides 960 GB of capacity using TLC V-NAND flash. Dual-port architecture supports high-availability configurations in compatible Dell systems.

Suited for write-intensive server workloads

This drive targets environments that require consistent random-read performance up to 420000 IOPS and sequential throughput of 4 200 / 1 200 MB/s. It is not intended for desktop PCs, consumer laptops or any platform lacking a 24 Gb/s SAS backplane and hot-swap bays.

Verify 24 Gb/s SAS backplane

Confirm the server chassis accepts 2.5 inch SAS drives and that the controller or expander supports 24 Gb/s speeds. Ensure firmware and driver versions are qualified for the EP650 model before installation.

Questions about this item

Will this 2.5-inch SAS SSD fit my server's hot-swap drive bay?

The drive uses a standard 2.5-inch form factor and supports hot-swap installation in compatible SAS backplanes.

Can I run this 24 GBps SAS drive on my existing 12 GBps controller?

The SSD will operate at the controller's 12 GBps limit; the dual-port SAS interface maintains connectivity but cannot exceed the host link speed.

How do I verify the drive is delivering the rated 420000 random read IOPS after setup?

Run a 4 KB random read benchmark such as fio or CrystalDiskMark; sustained results near 420000 IOPS confirm expected performance.
