High-Performance PCIe Gen4 NVMe Storage for Demanding Workloads

The Axiom C7000n Series is a PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe M.2 2280 solid-state drive designed for systems requiring high storage throughput in a compact form factor.

The C7000n delivers sequential read performance up to 7,175 MB/s and sequential write performance up to 6,800 MB/s. Compared with previous-generation PCIe 3.0 SSDs, the C7000n provides up to approximately 2× higher sequential read performance.

Available in 1TB, 2TB, 4TB, and 8TB capacities, the C7000n is designed for compatible desktops, workstations, laptops, and other systems supporting PCIe Gen4 NVMe M.2 storage.

How Fast Is the Axiom C7000n?

The Axiom C7000n provides sequential read speeds up to 7,175 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 6,800 MB/s when installed in a compatible PCIe Gen4 system.

PCIe 4.0 provides twice the theoretical bandwidth per lane of PCIe 3.0. This additional interface bandwidth enables PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSDs such as the C7000n to support substantially higher storage throughput than previous-generation PCIe Gen3 devices.

Actual SSD performance can vary based on system architecture, drive capacity, workload, configuration, thermal conditions, and other operating factors.

What Workloads Is the C7000n Designed For?

The C7000n is designed for applications in which storage throughput can affect system performance, including:

• Engineering and technical workstations
• Data-intensive applications
• Large-file processing and transfer
• Content creation and media workflows
• Graphics-intensive workloads
• Other high-performance desktop and workstation applications

The compact M.2 2280 form factor provides high-capacity NVMe storage without requiring a traditional 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch drive bay.

Is the C7000n Compatible With My System?

C7000n compatibility depends on the host system's support for the M.2 2280 form factor, NVMe protocol, PCIe interface, and required capacity.

Before deployment, Axiom recommends confirming the system manufacturer's storage specifications and available M.2 interface.

Axiom Engineering can help verify compatibility and identify the appropriate storage configuration for a specific system and workload.

PCIe Gen4 vs. PCIe Gen3 SSDs

The primary difference between PCIe Gen4 and PCIe Gen3 NVMe SSDs is available interface bandwidth. PCIe 4.0 doubles the theoretical bandwidth available per lane compared with PCIe 3.0.

For storage workloads capable of taking advantage of the additional bandwidth, a PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe SSD can provide substantially greater sequential throughput than a PCIe Gen3 x4 SSD.

The Axiom C7000n delivers up to 7,175 MB/s sequential read performance, providing up to approximately 2× the read performance of previous-generation PCIe 3.0 SSDs.

How Does Axiom Validate Storage Compatibility?

Axiom components are designed for deterministic performance in multi-vendor environments. Axiom validates storage, memory, optics, cabling, and other infrastructure components in its U.S.-based test lab using real production architectures.

Axiom Engineering supports customers with compatibility validation, configuration guidance, deployment planning, and lifecycle optimization to help ensure components are matched appropriately to their systems and workloads.
