Kioxia RM7 Series Value SAS SSD 1.92TB (24G SAS, read-intensive)

The Kioxia RM7 Series Value SAS SSD delivers enterprise-grade read-intensive storage over a 24Gb/s SAS interface, purpose-built for organizations seeking a cost-optimized balance between throughput and endurance. Built on Kioxia's BiCS FLASH 3D TLC NAND technology, the RM7 targets workloads where reads dominate over writes — typically in ratios of 80:20 or greater — making it an efficient fit for high-density server environments where responsiveness to sequential and random read requests is paramount. The 1.92TB capacity in a 2.5-inch U.2-compatible form factor allows straightforward integration into standard enterprise server bays.

The RM7 Series operates at up to 6,500 MB/s sequential read throughput and delivers strong random read IOPS performance suited to latency-sensitive read-heavy applications. The drive conforms to the SAS 24G (SAS-4) specification, providing backward compatibility with SAS 12G and SAS 6G host controllers while offering headroom for next-generation infrastructure deployments. Power management features and a robust error correction engine support consistent performance during sustained workloads without the thermal or endurance constraints that heavier write-intensive profiles would impose.

Typical deployment scenarios include server boot partitions, warm-data tiers in tiered storage architectures, content delivery node storage, database read replicas, and virtual machine image repositories. With a rated endurance of 1 Drive Write Per Day (DWPD) over a standard five-year operational period, the RM7 1.92TB model provides appropriate longevity for read-dominated roles without over-provisioning write endurance that these workloads do not require. Its SAS interface also provides the dual-port redundancy that enterprise server environments depend on for high-availability configurations.

Ideal for

• Operating system and hypervisor boot drives in rack and blade server deployments requiring dual-port SAS redundancy
• Warm-data storage tiers in multi-tier enterprise storage architectures where data is read frequently but written infrequently
• Read replica nodes for relational and NoSQL databases serving high query volumes with minimal write amplification
• Virtual machine image and template repositories in VDI and private cloud environments with concurrent read demands
• Content delivery and media streaming infrastructure requiring sustained sequential read throughput at scale
• Log and telemetry archive nodes where accumulated data is ingested once and queried repeatedly by analytics platforms
