  • 112-layer BiCS FLASH 3D TLC provides 1.92 TB capacity with 1 DWPD endurance
  • Dual-port U.3 design enables high-availability enterprise deployments
  • Power loss protection and end-to-end data protection safeguard critical information
  • Open Compute Project v2.0 support ensures broad datacenter compatibility

Read-intensive enterprise SSD

The Kioxia CM7-R is a 1.92 TB internal solid-state drive built for read-heavy enterprise workloads. It uses a 2.5-inch, 15 mm U.3 form factor and connects through a PCIe 5.0 x4 NVMe 2.0 interface. The drive delivers up to 2,700K random read IOPS and 310K random write IOPS.

Suited for analytics and virtualisation

This model targets business intelligence, online transaction processing, software-defined storage and virtualisation platforms that demand consistent read throughput. Its 1 DWPD endurance rating and dual-port design support high-availability configurations. Write-intensive logging or heavy database ingest workloads should consider a higher-DWPD alternative.

Verify U.3 bay and PLP wiring

Confirm the server or array provides a U.3-compatible 2.5-inch bay with 15 mm clearance and dual-port backplane support. Ensure the platform can supply the required power-loss protection circuitry and that firmware supports the Open Compute Project Datacenter NVMe SSD v2.0 baseline.

Questions about this item

What server backplane do I need for the U.3 interface on this 2.5" 15mm drive?

A 2.5-inch U.3 or U.2 backplane that accepts 15mm thick drives and provides PCIe 5.0 x4 lanes per port.

Will this dual-port NVMe SSD work in a single-port U.2 bay from an older generation?

Yes, it will operate on one port at PCIe 5.0 x4 or fall back to PCIe 4.0 x4 if the backplane only supports that speed.

How can I verify the drive delivers its rated 2,700K random read IOPS after installation?

Run an NVMe random read test at 4K block size and compare the sustained IOPS to the 2,700K specification.
