KIOXIA CM7-R 15.36TB 2.5″ PCIe 5.0 NVMe Enterprise SSD (KCMYXRUG15T3) – Read-Intensive, 1 DWPD

PCIe 5.0 enterprise flash for AI, analytics and high-performance data centers.

The KIOXIA CM7-R 15.36TB is a 2.5-inch, 15mm PCIe 5.0 NVMe 2.0 enterprise SSD rated for 1 drive write per day. With sequential reads up to 14,000MB/s, writes up to 7,000MB/s and over 2 million random read IOPS, it accelerates AI training, analytics, databases and high-performance computing.

Why AI and Analytics Need PCIe 5.0 Storage

AI training, real-time analytics and large databases can consume data faster than PCIe Gen4 SSDs can supply it. GPUs and CPUs then sit idle waiting on storage.

The CM7-R doubles available bandwidth with PCIe 5.0, delivering up to 14,000MB/s reads per drive. Fewer drives feed more compute, improving utilization and time to results.

Next-Generation Data Center Performance

Up to 14,000MB/s sequential reads and over 2 million random read IOPS accelerate data loading for AI, HPC and analytics.

Enterprise Reliability and Security

Power-loss protection and end-to-end data protection support 24/7 operation; this SIE model supports Crypto Erase for secure decommissioning.

Setup Instructions

How to Install the KIOXIA CM7-R 15.36TB

1. Confirm the server supports PCIe 5.0 NVMe 2.5-inch (U.3/U.2) drives and update firmware.
2. Mount the drive in the server’s 2.5-inch carrier.
3. Insert it into the NVMe bay; hot-plug where supported.
4. Verify PCIe 5.0 link speed in the BMC or OS and add the drive to your storage pool.
