KCMY1RUG15T3 Kioxia CM7-R 15.36TB U.3 NVMe 2.5" Server SSD

High-Performance 2.5in U.3 NVMe Enterprise SSD for read-intensive tiers with the KCMY1RUG15T3

KCMY1RUG15T3 is a Kioxia CM7-R Series 2.5in U.3 (U.2-compatible) hot-swap NVMe SSD engineered for 24/7 datacentre service in dense NVMe backplane systems. It targets read-intensive server storage where consistent latency matters, delivering up to 15.36TB in a compact bay footprint while supporting secure, serviceable deployments.

Built on TLC NAND with a read-optimised endurance profile, KCMY1RUG15T3 sustains predictable performance under mixed enterprise queue depths, reaching up to 14,000 MB/s sequential read and 2.4M IOPS random read (4K). The PCIe NVMe architecture reduces protocol overhead versus legacy SAS/SATA, improving CPU efficiency for virtualisation datastores and database read tiers. For data integrity, KCMY1RUG15T3 integrates power loss protection and a power disable feature, enabling safe recovery behaviour and controlled backplane operations during maintenance events.

Why Choose the KCMY1RUG15T3?

KCMY1RUG15T3 provides a strong density-to-performance ratio for scale-out storage pools, combining high-capacity U.3 hot-swap serviceability with a read-focused write budget of 1 DWPD over 5 years. This makes KCMY1RUG15T3 well suited for standardised fleet rollouts where predictable endurance, consistent throughput, and secure-at-rest operation are required without compromising bay density.

Kioxia designs enterprise SSDs around sustained QoS, firmware stability, and platform interoperability aligned with modern NVMe backplanes and OCP 2.0 expectations. The CM7-R engineering approach prioritises reliability characteristics such as 2.5M hours MTTF, strong error management, and controlled power behaviour for long-lived datacentre infrastructures.

Key Applications:

• Read-intensive database tiers
• Virtualisation datastores
• NVMe-backed file and object caching layers
• Content delivery and read-heavy analytics
