SSD disk Kioxia 1.92 TB 2.5 inch PCI Express 5.0 NVMe CM7-R

KIOXIA CM7-R Series is a read-intensive enterprise NVMe SSD in a 2.5" form factor, designed to support a wide range of server and workstation applications such as business intelligence, online transaction processing, software-defined storage and virtualization. The drive uses NVMe 2.0 and is built on PCIe 5.0 (note: U.3 host supports PCIe 4.0) and KIOXIA 112-layer BiCS FLASH 3D TLC memory, offering sustained read-oriented performance, up to 1 DWPD endurance and capacities that can reach enterprise-class sizes. The model described here has 1.92 TB capacity and is intended for read-intensive workloads that require high sequential and random read throughput.

Advantages

The SSD delivers high read performance suitable for data-centric enterprise tasks, with PCIe 5.0 NVMe interface compatibility for modern platforms. It combines KIOXIA 112-layer 3D TLC flash to provide read-focused endurance (1 DWPD) and large capacity in a compact 2.5" form factor. Measured performance values for this series include very high random read IOPS and substantial sequential read/write bandwidth, while the drive weight is approximately 0.13 kg.

Suitable for

• Enterprise read-intensive databases and data analytics
• Online transaction processing (OLTP) systems
• Software-defined storage and virtualization hosts
• High-performance servers and workstations requiring fast read throughput

How to use

Install the SSD into a compatible 2.5" drive bay or U.3 slot with a host that supports PCIe NVMe. Ensure the system firmware and operating system NVMe drivers support PCIe 5.0 or PCIe 4.0 for U.3 hosts. Initialize and format the drive within your operating system or storage controller according to your deployment requirements, create necessary partitions and file systems, and integrate the SSD into your server or workstation storage pool. For virtualization and software-defined storage, configure the drive in the chosen storage stack following vendor guidelines.

Recommendations

Use the KIOXIA CM7-R SSD primarily for read-intensive enterprise workloads. Maintain up-to-date firmware and host drivers, monitor drive health via SMART or vendor tools, and plan capacity and endurance needs around the specified 1 DWPD rating. For U.3 configurations, verify host compatibility with PCIe generation and cabling to achieve expected performance.
