Axiom SSDEP65HV960‑AX 2.5 960GB SAS 24Gb/s SSD

Overview

Axiom SSDEP65HV960‑AX is a 2.5‑inch enterprise SAS solid state drive designed for data center and server storage arrays where high‑throughput, low‑latency block storage is required. It is deployed by storage architects, system integrators, and server infrastructure teams to replace or scale existing SAS drives that support 24 Gb/s SAS fabric architectures. The unit addresses challenges of sustained workload demands in virtualization, database, and high‑I/O server clusters with dual‑port SAS connectivity.

The device leverages a 24 Gb/s SAS interface with full‑duplex dual‑port capability to deliver high link throughput, suitable for enterprise storage controllers and RAID backplanes supporting SAS standard speeds. It offers sequential read throughput up to approximately 4.2 GB/s and sequential write throughput up to 1.2 GB/s, coupled with high random IOPS for mixed workload efficiency in multi‑host architectures.

Physically, the drive conforms to the industry‑standard 2.5‑inch form factor and is hot‑swappable, enabling integration into rack servers and storage shelves that accommodate SAS SSDs. Its endurance profile is engineered for read‑intensive enterprise use cases, providing sustained performance under continuous operation.

SSDEP65HV960‑AX fits within mid‑tier data center storage tiers, virtualization hosts, and high‑performance compute clusters where SAS backplanes are preferred over SATA due to multi‑pathing and dual‑port functionality. It is appropriate for use in blade servers, dense rack servers, and enterprise SAN node storage modules where SAS storage standards prevail.

In practical deployment, this SSD can serve as a primary storage tier in a hyperconverged infrastructure node, backing virtual machine storage, or as part of a RAID array in a storage server requiring dual‑access paths and fast block I/O. It can also be used as a cache tier in hybrid storage arrays to accelerate read/write performance.

This drive is not suited for client desktops, consumer NAS units, or infrastructures that do not support 24 Gb/s SAS interfaces, as it requires enterprise SAS backplane support for full functionality. It also is inappropriate for workloads heavily dependent on high DWPD (drive writes per day) beyond the specified read‑intensive profile.
