What are the key performance specs of the KIOXIA CM7-R 7.68TB SSD?

It offers sequential reads of 14,000 MB/s, sequential writes of 6,000 MB/s, random 4KB reads up to 2,450,000 IOPS, and random writes of 300,000 IOPS. These are powered by PCIe 5.0 NVMe 2.0 at 128 GT/s with 112-layer BiCS FLASH TLC, ideal for read-intensive enterprise tasks.

What form factor and interface does this SSD use?

The drive is 2.5-inch U.3 (SFF-TA-1001) with 15mm thickness, using PCIe 5.0 NVMe 2.0 interface. Dual-port design supports high-availability at 128 GT/s (x4 single or x2 dual), compliant with OCP Datacenter NVMe SSD v2.0.

What is the endurance rating and MTBF?

Rated for 1 DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day) over 5 years with 2,500,000 hours MTBF. Features like PLP, end-to-end data protection, and dual-port ensure reliability for 24x7 enterprise workloads including BI and virtualization.

What security features are available?

Includes SIE (Self-Encrypting Drive), SED (Secure Erase Drive), and FIPS SED options. Combined with end-to-end data protection and PLP, it meets enterprise security needs for sensitive data in transaction processing and storage.

What is the power consumption?

Operates at 18W in dual-port mode, with supply from 12V ±10% and 3.3V ±15%. Low power design suits dense server racks while delivering high PCIe 5.0 performance for efficient data center operations.

What workloads is this SSD optimized for?

Read-intensive applications like business intelligence, OLTP, software-defined storage, and virtualization. 7.68TB capacity, 1 DWPD, and high read IOPS make it perfect for 24x7 enterprise environments with dual-port high availability.
