Axiom SSDEP65HD960‑AX – 960GB SAS 24Gb/s SSD

Axiom SSDEP65HD960‑AX 960GB SAS 24Gb/s SSD

Overview

The Axiom SSDEP65HD960‑AX is a high‑capacity enterprise solid state drive designed for data center, virtualization, and SAN/NAS rack storage environments requiring predictable performance with SAS connectivity. It is a 3.5‑inch hot‑swappable SAS SSD that integrates into server and storage backplanes equipped with 24 Gb/s dual‑port SAS interfaces. This model is selected by systems and storage engineers who need large‑capacity SAS SSDs that deliver consistent throughput and dual‑path access for mission‑critical operations.

The drive uses a 24 Gb/s SAS interface with dual‑port full‑duplex capability, enabling concurrent multi‑path access across RAID controllers or SAS expanders. Typical sequential performance for similar EP650‑series 960 GB SAS SSDs includes sustained read speeds up to around 4,200 MB/s and sustained write speeds around 1,200 MB/s, with high random I/O for mixed workloads.

Physically, SSDEP65HD960‑AX installs into 3.5″ hot‑swap drive bays found in enterprise server and storage chassis. Enterprise‑class reliability features such as advanced error correction and high MTBF ratings support continuous 24/7 operations common in virtualization hosts, distributed file systems, and database clusters. Dual‑port SAS also facilitates redundant pathing in high‑availability infrastructure.

This SSD is suitable for use as a primary block storage device in consolidated storage arrays, hyperconverged compute nodes, or large‑capacity server deployments where SAS backplanes are standard. It is not appropriate for SATA‑only or consumer storage systems, as those environments do not support the SAS protocol or dual‑path redundancy features.
