Axiom SSDEP65DG960‑AX – 960GB SAS 24Gb/s SSD

Axiom SSDEP65DG960‑AX 960GB SAS 24Gb/s SSD

Overview

The Axiom SSDEP65DG960‑AX is a 2.5‑inch enterprise SAS solid state drive engineered for deployment in data center and server environments where predictable latency, dual‑path redundancy, and sustained throughput are required. It is selected by infrastructure engineers and storage architects for use in rack servers, SAN shelves, and virtualization hosts where SAS backplanes and RAID controllers provide continuous availability and failover capability. The drive addresses performance needs in virtual machine storage tiers, mid‑capacity database clusters, and mixed enterprise 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 performance up to approximately 4.10 GB/s and sequential write throughput near 1.17 GB/s, with random I/O performance supporting up to 420,000 read IOPS and ~60,000 write IOPS under enterprise workloads.

The SSD 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, providing redundancy and load balancing across storage paths during production operation.

It is positioned within mid‑capacity enterprise SSD tiers, supporting virtualization hosts, database platforms, and distributed storage clusters where consistent performance is required over sustained load. The 960 GB capacity provides a balance of storage density and stable throughput across RAID configurations and software‑defined storage environments.

In deployment, this SSD is used in RAID arrays or software‑defined storage clusters where multi‑path access enhances uptime and resilience. It also serves as cache tier or primary storage 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 realize its bandwidth and redundancy capabilities.
