About the Kioxia CM7-R 7.68TB U.3 NVMe SSD

The Kioxia CM7-R 7.68TB U.3 NVMe SSD (KCM71RUJ7T68) is a high-capacity enterprise storage device built on Kioxia's BiCS FLASH 3D TLC NAND technology and paired with a PCIe 4.0 NVMe interface. Designed for read-intensive workloads, the CM7-R series leverages the U.3 form factor to deliver broad compatibility with modern server backplanes that support tri-mode SAS/SATA/NVMe connectivity, making it a versatile choice for large-scale datacenter deployments where density and flexibility are paramount.

Engineered to sustain demanding enterprise environments, the CM7-R 7.68TB model delivers sequential read performance up to 7,000 MB/s and random read performance reaching approximately 1,500,000 IOPS, with consistently low latency characteristics suited to latency-sensitive applications. The drive operates within the NVMe 1.4 command set, supporting advanced features including end-to-end data protection (T10 PI), power loss protection circuitry, and sanitize operations to meet rigorous data security and integrity requirements across enterprise IT and cloud infrastructure.

With a 1 DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day) endurance rating optimized for read-centric operations and a rated MTBF of 2,000,000 hours, the CM7-R 7.68TB is positioned for hyperscale storage, AI/ML inference data repositories, content repositories, and large analytics platforms where sustained throughput, data integrity, and long-term operational reliability are non-negotiable. Omnixon Global supplies this model to enterprise buyers across the UAE, GCC, EMEA, and APAC regions.

Ideal for

  • Hyperscale and cloud datacenter read-intensive storage tiers requiring high throughput and dense capacity in a U.3 form factor
  • AI and machine learning inference pipelines where rapid, low-latency access to large training datasets and model repositories is critical
  • Enterprise content delivery and media streaming platforms demanding sustained high sequential read bandwidth at scale
  • Large-scale analytics and business intelligence workloads that perform frequent sequential scans across multi-terabyte datasets
  • Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and virtualization platforms requiring high random read IOPS with predictable latency under concurrent user loads
  • Cold and warm data archival tiers in tiered storage architectures where capacity efficiency and data integrity over extended operation are prioritized

Frequently Asked Questions about Kioxia CM7-R 7.68TB U.3 NVMe SSD

What workloads is the Kioxia CM7-R 7.68TB U.3 NVMe SSD designed for?

Enterprise mixed-use and read-intensive workloads — including transactional databases, AI inference data, virtualisation, hyperconverged storage, and analytics. Endurance is rated for sustained 24/7 operation, not consumer-style burst use.

Will this SSD work in my Dell / HPE / Lenovo server?

Most enterprise SSDs ship in vendor-branded variants tied to a server QVL. Share your server model and we will quote the correctly-branded SKU (Dell-genuine, HPE-genuine, Lenovo-genuine) so support and firmware update tooling work without complaints.

Do you provide support support locally?

Yes. All units are sourced through distribution, so support registers cleanly with the manufacturer (Samsung / Kioxia / Solidigm / Micron / WD / Seagate) and DOA replacement is handled through our Dubai operations within 5 business days for UAE/GCC.

How do I get a quote for a bulk order?

Use the RFQ form on this page with your quantity and destination. For larger and project-scale orders we engage the vendor directly to prepare a tailored quote, and our pre-sales team follows up with a vendor-confirmed quote.
