Know before you buy
This drive is specifically optimized for Dell systems to ensure seamless integration and performance. While it uses a standard 2.5-inch SATA interface, it is engineered to meet the specific firmware and hardware requirements of Dell enterprise environments.
The EP400 is designed for high-demand enterprise tasks, including OLTP, data warehousing, and virtualized environments. Its architecture prioritizes IOPS consistency and low latency, making it ideal for mission-critical databases that require reliable, sustained performance.
The drive features robust power-loss protection, which ensures that data currently in transit is safely committed to the NAND flash if power is unexpectedly cut. This prevents data corruption and maintains the integrity of your critical files.
A 3.6 Drive Writes Per Day (DWPD) rating indicates that you can overwrite the entire 1.92TB capacity of the drive more than three times every single day for the duration of its warranty. This makes it highly durable for write-intensive enterprise applications.
Yes, the Axiom EP400 includes 256-bit AES encryption. This provides a layer of hardware-based security to protect your sensitive data from unauthorized access without impacting the drive's overall performance.
Yes, the drive features a hot-swappable design. This allows you to replace or upgrade the unit without needing to power down your server, minimizing downtime for your business operations.
