Axiom SSDEP65DG7T6‑AX – 7.68TB SAS 24Gb/s SSD

Axiom SSDEP65DG7T6‑AX 7.68TB SAS 24Gb/s SSD

Overview

The Axiom SSDEP65DG7T6‑AX is a 2.5‑inch enterprise SAS solid state drive engineered for deployment in data center and server environments that require high‑capacity storage, dual‑path redundancy, and predictable performance under sustained load. It is deployed by infrastructure engineers and storage architects in rack servers, SAN storage shelves, and virtualization clusters where SAS backplanes and RAID controllers are used to ensure continuous availability and multi‑path access. The drive addresses storage demands in virtual machine farms, database clusters, and high‑concurrency mixed workloads.

This model uses a 24 Gb/s SAS interface with dual‑port full‑duplex capability, enabling simultaneous multi‑path communication across RAID controllers and SAS expanders. 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 predictable performance in enterprise workloads.

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

It is positioned within high‑capacity enterprise SSD tiers, supporting virtualization hosts, large scale database systems, and analytics platforms where consistent throughput is required over sustained operational cycles. The 7.68 TB capacity enables consolidation of storage pools while maintaining performance across RAID groups and distributed storage topologies.

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