Axiom EP400 480 GB Encrypted SSD

The Axiom EP400 is a 480 GB solid state drive with hardware-based 256-bit AES encryption. It targets organisations that must protect data at rest on laptops or desktops without relying on software overhead. The drive presents itself as a standard SATA device to the host system.

2.5 inch SATA 600 interface hot-swappable

The 2.5 inch form factor fits common drive bays and the SATA 600 interface provides broad platform compatibility. Hot-swap support allows replacement without powering down compatible enclosures or servers. RoHS compliance confirms restricted hazardous substances in the build materials.

SATA 600 practical throughput limits

Sequential reads reach 525 MB/s and writes reach 485 MB/s within the SATA 600 bandwidth ceiling. The interface caps maximum throughput below what modern PCIe drives deliver. Buyers needing higher bandwidth or lower latency should consider alternative interface technologies.

Questions about this item

What does the SATA 600 interface limit the 480 GB drive to in practice?

The SATA 600 interface caps the 480 GB drive at 525 MB/s read and 485 MB/s write, which are the maximum transfer rates the controller can sustain.

What physical space and mounting does the 2.5 inch form factor require?

The 2.5 inch form factor fits a standard 2.5 inch drive bay or caddy with SATA data and power connectors; the drive is hot-swappable so it can use a tool-less tray.

How is the encrypted drive initialised, and what step is often missed?

Connect the drive via SATA, then use the supplied management software to set the 256-bit AES password before storing data; skipping the password setup leaves the volume unprotected.
