Axiom SSDEP65DJ960-AX 2.5″ 960GB SAS 24Gb/s SSD

Overview

The Axiom SSDEP65DJ960-AX is a 2.5‑inch enterprise SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) solid state drive designed for data center and server storage arrays where sustained throughput and dual‑path redundancy are required. It is targeted at infrastructure engineers and storage architects deploying high‑capacity SAS SSDs in enterprise SAN/NAS clusters, virtualization hosts, and mixed workload environments that require hot‑swap capability and enterprise reliability. This SKU addresses persistent block I/O workloads under heavy access patterns by delivering predictable performance with dual‑port SAS connectivity.

This SSD implements a 24 Gb/s SAS interface with full‑duplex dual‑port architecture to enable simultaneous redundant access paths from storage 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, paired with strong random I/O performance for mixed enterprise workloads.

Physically, the SSDEP65DJ960‑AX conforms to the 2.5‑inch hot‑swap form factor compatible with enterprise rack servers and storage enclosures that accept SAS modules. Hot‑swap support allows drive installation and replacement without powering down host systems, supporting continuous operation in 24/7 environments.

Endurance for this SSD is rated at roughly one drive write per day over a typical five‑year enterprise lifecycle with a total bytes written (TBW) of approximately 1,752 TB. The device is engineered for use in enterprise storage tiers where throughput consistency, fault redundancy, and high reliability are priorities.

This drive is not appropriate for consumer desktops or infrastructure limited to SATA or SAS 12 Gb/s backplanes, as dual‑port SAS 24 Gb/s performance and redundancy benefits require supported enterprise infrastructure.
