Axiom SSDEP65DX960‑AX – 3.5″ 960GB SAS 24Gb/s SSD

Axiom SSDEP65DX960‑AX 3.5″ 960GB SAS 24Gb/s SSD

Overview

The Axiom SSDEP65DX960‑AX is a 3.5‑inch enterprise SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) solid state drive engineered for large‑format storage applications in data center and enterprise server environments where dual‑port redundancy and hot‑swap capability are required. It is deployed by storage architects, server infrastructure engineers, and system integrators building high‑availability storage tiers on SAS 24 Gb/s fabrics. This model supports persistent block workloads such as virtualization datastores, hybrid SAN shelves, and high‑access analytics repositories where sustained throughput and endurance are essential.

This SSD uses a 24 Gb/s SAS interface with dual‑port full‑duplex connectivity, enabling redundant multi‑path access from SAS controllers and backplanes. It delivers sustained sequential read throughput up to approximately 4,200 MB/s and sustained sequential write throughput near ~1,170 MB/s, supported by strong random I/O performance for mixed workload efficiency across enterprise class environments.

Physically, the SSDEP65DX960‑AX conforms to a standard 3.5‑inch hot‑swap form factor compatible with enterprise storage enclosures, rack servers, and blade systems that support large‑format SAS modules. Hot‑swap capability allows drive exchange without system power‑down, supporting continuous operation.

This SSD’s endurance profile is calibrated at roughly one drive write per day over a typical five‑year lifecycle, with total bytes written (TBW) aligned to enterprise usage expectations. The device is suited for mid‑to‑large capacity block storage tiers in virtualized clusters, high‑performance file servers, and data consolidation nodes with redundant SAS paths. It is not intended for consumer systems, SATA‑only infrastructures, or SAS 12 Gb/s backplanes where full performance cannot be realized.
