Kioxia CM7-V Series Enterprise NVMe SSD 1.6TB (E3.S, PCIe 5.0)

The Kioxia CM7-V Series Enterprise NVMe SSD delivers high-performance, low-latency storage in the compact E3.S form factor, leveraging a PCIe 5.0 x4 host interface to address the bandwidth demands of next-generation server platforms. Built on Kioxia's BiCS FLASH 3D TLC NAND technology and paired with an NVMe 2.0-compliant controller, the CM7-V targets write-intensive enterprise workloads that require consistent, predictable I/O performance at scale. The 1.6 TB capacity point (manufacturer part number KCMYXVUG1T60E3) is purpose-engineered for dense compute nodes utilizing the emerging E3.S backplane ecosystem.

The CM7-V Series is optimized for mixed read/write and write-intensive workload profiles, making it well-suited to transactional databases, AI/ML training pipelines, and real-time analytics platforms where sustained write throughput and low tail latency are critical. The drive's E3.S 1T form factor integrates cleanly into OCP and next-generation rack-scale architectures, enabling higher storage density per rack unit compared to traditional 2.5-inch U.2 configurations. End-to-end data protection, power-loss protection circuitry, and enterprise-grade error correction contribute to data integrity across extended operational cycles.

As part of Kioxia's CM7 enterprise NVMe family, the CM7-V sits in the write-intensive tier alongside the CM7-R (read-intensive) variant, giving infrastructure architects a matched set of drives to align storage tier characteristics precisely to workload requirements. The PCIe 5.0 interface doubles the theoretical per-lane bandwidth available over PCIe 4.0, positioning the CM7-V to remain performant as server CPU and fabric architectures continue to advance.

Ideal for

• High-frequency transactional databases (OLTP) requiring sustained low-latency random write I/O and consistent QoS across mixed workloads
• AI and machine learning training clusters where fast checkpoint writes and dataset ingestion to local NVMe storage reduce GPU idle time
• Real-time analytics and in-memory database logging tiers that demand high sequential write bandwidth for continuous data ingest
• Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) nodes where the E3.S form factor enables higher drive density and simplified backplane cable management
• Edge and telco cloud compute nodes built on OCP-aligned server designs that require dense, write-intensive NVMe storage in a compact footprint
• Content delivery and video streaming origin storage requiring high throughput and low latency under sustained write workloads
