KIOXIA CM7-R 3.84TB 2.5-inch U.3 PCI Express 5.0 NVMe Enterprise SSD

The KIOXIA 3.84TB 2.5-inch U.3 PCIe 5.0 NVMe Enterprise SSD is an internal drive intended for read-intensive data-centre workloads. Its 3.84TB capacity provides storage for enterprise applications and their associated data. Sequential reads are rated at up to 14,000 MB/s, while sequential writes reach up to 6,750 MB/s. These transfer ratings describe sequential access rather than small, randomly accessed blocks of data. Connectivity uses PCI Express 5.0 with the NVMe 2.0 protocol, making the host system's storage interface an important compatibility consideration.

BiCS FLASH TLC memory provides the drive's solid-state storage medium. Endurance is rated at one drive write per day, a useful specification when assessing expected write volumes. At this capacity, that corresponds to 3.84 TB of writes per day. The stated 24/7 operating design suits enterprise systems used continuously rather than only during occasional sessions. Its 15 mm height is also relevant when checking drive-bay clearance, particularly where available space limits which drives can be installed.

• Up to 2,700,000 random read IOPS at 4 KB for small-block read operations.
• Up to 310,000 random write IOPS at 4 KB for small-block write operations.
• 5 W idle power consumption for system power-budget planning.
• Hardware encryption with stated FIPS 140-3 support.
• Power-loss data protection helps protect data during sudden loss of power.
• 2,500,000-hour rated mean time between failures, an enterprise reliability metric rather than a guaranteed service life.
