KIOXIA CM7-R Series 1.92 TB 2.5-inch PCI Express 5.0 NVMe internal SSD

The KIOXIA CM7-R Series 1.92TB 2.5-inch PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD is an internal enterprise drive designed for read-intensive workloads. Its capacity provides 1,920 GB of storage for application data and other files. Sequential read speeds reach up to 14,000 MB/s, making read throughput a key specification. Intended applications include business intelligence, virtualisation, and software-defined storage. This read-focused positioning is relevant when selecting storage for workloads that place greater emphasis on retrieving data than on writing it.

The drive uses a four-lane PCI Express connection, which is a compatibility requirement to check against the host system. NVMe 2.0 is the specified storage protocol version. It is intended for installation in servers and workstations, so platform support matters when choosing a host. The enclosure is 15 mm high, a useful clearance detail when assessing whether the drive fits an available bay. Enhanced power-loss data protection supports data integrity during unexpected interruptions to the power supply.

• Up to 3,500 MB/s sequential write speed for sustained data transfers.
• Up to 2,000,000 IOPS for 4 KB random reads.
• Up to 155,000 IOPS for 4 KB random writes.
• BiCS FLASH TLC memory is the specified flash storage technology.
• 1 drive write per day endurance rating for assessing write workload suitability.
• 2,500,000-hour MTBF is the stated reliability metric, not a guaranteed service life.
