Kioxia CM7-R 1.92TB U.3 NVMe SSD

The Kioxia CM7-R 1.92TB U.3 NVMe SSD (KCM71RUJ1T92) is a read-intensive enterprise storage device engineered on Kioxia's BiCS FLASH 3D TLC NAND technology. Designed for U.3 (SFF-TA-1001) tri-mode compatibility, the CM7-R interfaces over PCIe 4.0 x4 with NVMe 1.4 protocol support, enabling broad compatibility across modern server and storage platforms from major brands. The drive targets environments where high sequential and random read throughput is critical, delivering up to 7,000 MB/s sequential read and up to 1,500,000 IOPS random read performance, making it well-suited for data-intensive enterprise deployments.

The CM7-R series incorporates end-to-end data path protection, including LDPC error correction, power loss protection circuitry, and hardware-based AES 256-bit encryption conforming to TCG Opal 2.01 and TCG Enterprise SSC standards. These security and data integrity features align with enterprise governance and compliance requirements in regulated industries. The drive operates within a standard 15mm U.3 form factor, enabling hot-swap capability in appropriately equipped server and JBOF enclosures without disruption to running workloads.

Targeted at read-dominated workloads such as analytics, AI inference serving, content delivery, and high-frequency database reads, the CM7-R 1.92TB is rated for 1 Drive Write Per Day (DWPD) over its operational endurance period, with a total bytes written (TBW) rating of approximately 3,504 TBW. Its dual-port U.3 capability supports high-availability configurations where dual-path host access is required, a characteristic particularly valued in enterprise storage arrays and composable infrastructure platforms deployed across datacenter, AI, and cloud-adjacent environments.

Ideal for

• AI and machine learning inference serving, where high random read IOPS enable rapid model and dataset retrieval from NVMe-attached storage nodes
• Read-intensive relational and NoSQL database deployments requiring low-latency, high-throughput storage for hot dataset tiers
• Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) clusters where U.3 tri-mode flexibility and dual-port access support multi-host storage pooling
• Content delivery and media streaming platforms demanding sustained sequential read throughput for large-file workloads
• High-performance analytics and business intelligence platforms that scan large structured datasets at speed
• Enterprise storage arrays and JBOF (Just a Bunch of Flash) enclosures requiring hot-swappable, high-density NVMe capacity with dual-path redundancy
