Axiom SSDEP65M57T6‑AX – 7.68TB SAS 24Gb/s SSD

Axiom SSDEP65M57T6‑AX 7.68TB SAS 24Gb/s SSD

Overview

The Axiom SSDEP65M57T6‑AX is a 2.5‑inch enterprise SAS solid state drive designed for data center and server environments that require high capacity, dual‑path redundancy, and predictable performance under sustained load. It is deployed by infrastructure and storage engineers in rack servers, SAN appliances, and virtualization clusters where SAS backplanes and RAID controllers are used to provide continuous data access and failover capability. The drive addresses storage demands in large VM farms, database clusters, and high‑concurrency mixed I/O workloads.

This model operates on a 24 Gb/s SAS interface with dual‑port full‑duplex capability, enabling simultaneous multi‑path communication across SAS expanders and RAID controllers. It delivers sustained sequential read throughput up to approximately 4.10 GB/s and sequential write performance near 3.61 GB/s, with random I/O performance up to 420,000 read IOPS and 140,000 write IOPS, supporting mixed enterprise workloads with reliability.

The unit follows a 2.5‑inch hot‑swappable form factor, allowing installation into enterprise drive bays and storage enclosures without downtime. Dual‑port SAS architecture enables active‑active controller configurations, improving uptime and balanced access across redundant paths.

It is positioned within high‑capacity SSD tiers, supporting virtualization hosts, large scale databases, and analytics storage nodes where low latency and high throughput consistency are required over sustained operations. The 7.68 TB capacity enables consolidation of storage pools while maintaining performance across RAID groups and distributed storage environments.

In deployment, this SSD is typically used in RAID arrays or software‑defined storage clusters where multi‑path access enhances uptime and resilience. It also serves for primary storage or caching layers in read‑intensive and mixed workloads with enterprise endurance characteristics. This device is not appropriate for SATA‑only systems, desktop platforms, or infrastructures lacking SAS controllers. It requires a SAS backplane supporting 24 Gb/s to fully utilize its performance and redundancy capabilities.
