KIOXIA CM7-V 3.2TB 2.5-inch PCI Express 5.0 NVMe Enterprise SSD

The KIOXIA 3.2 TB 2.5-inch PCIe 5.0 NVMe Enterprise SSD is an internal storage drive intended for server and workstation environments. Sequential read speeds reach up to 14,000 MB/s, providing its rated performance for reading large blocks of data. Sequential writes are rated at up to 6,750 MB/s, below the maximum read speed. Its mixed-use enterprise workload rating covers applications that combine reading and writing rather than read-focused storage alone. Endurance is specified at three drive writes per day.

BiCS FLASH TLC memory provides the drive's flash storage medium. The interface uses four PCI Express lanes and the NVMe 2.0 protocol, making host interface compatibility an important consideration when selecting a system. Hardware encryption is supported, although no specific encryption algorithm is listed. Power-loss data protection addresses the risk of data loss when the power supply fails. Support for 24/7 operation suits systems that remain running continuously, including the server and data-centre applications identified for this drive.

• Up to 2,700,000 random read IOPS with 4 KB operations.
• Up to 600,000 random write IOPS with 4 KB operations.
• 5 W idle power consumption.
• 25 W active power consumption.
• 2,500,000-hour rated mean time between failures, a reliability metric rather than a guaranteed service life.
