KCMY1VUG12T8 Kioxia CM7-V 12.8TB NVMe 2.5" Server SSD

High-Performance 2.5in U.3 NVMe Enterprise SSD for hot-swap storage tiers with the KCMY1VUG12T8

KCMY1VUG12T8 is a Kioxia CM7-V 12.8TB 2.5in NVMe SSD designed for U.3 backplanes with U.2 compatibility, enabling consistent performance in hot-swap server bays and dense all-flash architectures. Using TLC NAND in a mixed-use endurance class, it targets sustained QoS for mixed read/write datasets where latency control and predictable throughput are more critical than burst metrics.

With PCIe NVMe connectivity optimized for modern CPU platforms and high-lane-count I/O topologies, KCMY1VUG12T8 supports efficient parallelism for scale-out storage and virtualization clusters. Sequential throughput up to 14,000 MB/s read and 7,000 MB/s write and random performance up to 2.4M IOPS 4K read help reduce queue buildup in NVMe tiers and database volumes. The 3 DWPD endurance rating over 5 years (70,080 TBW) aligns with write-active consolidation, while Power Loss Protection and Power Disable improve node-level resilience and serviceability in shared racks.

Why Choose the KCMY1VUG12T8?

KCMY1VUG12T8 provides a strong density-to-performance profile for mixed workloads, combining 12.8TB capacity with enterprise safeguards that simplify deployment in all-flash arrays, HCI nodes, and NVMe caching tiers. It scales cleanly across multi-drive backplanes, supports hot-swap maintenance windows, and helps standardize secure storage configurations with hardware-based encryption.

Kioxia designs the CM-series around data center reliability, focusing on predictable endurance behavior, robust firmware controls, and features aligned with modern server standards such as U.3 interoperability, power-fail protection, and long-life duty-cycle operation.

Key Applications:

• All-flash arrays and NVMe tiering
• Database storage volumes
• Virtualization and VM datastores
• HCI clusters
