High-Performance PCIe 5.0 Storage
The KIOXIA CM7-R 7.68TB PCIe 5.0 NVMe Enterprise SSD is designed to take advantage of PCIe Gen5 server platforms.
With sequential read performance reaching up to 14,000 MB/s and sequential write performance up to 6,750 MB/s, the drive can support bandwidth-intensive applications where large datasets must be accessed quickly.
Random performance of up to approximately 2.45 million read IOPS also makes the drive suitable for enterprise workloads involving large numbers of simultaneous storage requests.
AI Server and Data Center Applications
The drive is suitable for:
-
AI and machine learning infrastructure
-
GPU server storage
-
Data warehousing
-
Business intelligence
-
Online transaction processing
-
Relational databases
-
Software-defined storage
-
Enterprise virtualization
-
Cloud infrastructure
-
High-performance data centers
For AI infrastructure, the KIOXIA CM7-R 7.68TB PCIe 5.0 NVMe Enterprise SSD can be used as high-speed local or distributed storage where training datasets, inference data, checkpoints, and application data require high read throughput.
Read-Intensive Enterprise Design
CM7-R is designed specifically for read-intensive workloads.
The drive provides an endurance rating of 1 DWPD over its specified enterprise lifetime, making it suitable for workloads dominated by reads rather than continuous heavy write activity.
For environments requiring substantially higher write endurance, mixed-use enterprise SSDs may be more appropriate.
Enterprise Reliability
The KIOXIA CM7-R 7.68TB PCIe 5.0 NVMe Enterprise SSD includes enterprise storage features designed to improve reliability and availability.
Key reliability features include:
-
Power Loss Protection
-
End-to-end data protection
-
Dual-port capability
-
24×7 enterprise workload support
-
2.5 million hour MTTF
-
Multiple security configuration options
Dual-port capability is particularly useful in enterprise storage systems where redundant storage paths are required for high availability.
Security Options
KIOXIA offers multiple CM7-R security configurations, including:
-
SIE – Sanitize Instant Erase
-
SED – Self-Encrypting Drive
-
FIPS SED variants
Exact security configuration depends on the specific part number being supplied. Buyers should verify the complete model number before procurement when encryption or FIPS requirements apply.
