KPM5VRUG15T3 Kioxia PM5-R 15.36TB SAS 2.5" Server SSD

High-Performance 2.5-inch SAS Enterprise SSD for Read-Intensive Server Storage with the KPM5VRUG15T3

The KPM5VRUG15T3 is a 15.36TB 2.5-inch SAS hot-swap enterprise SSD engineered for read-intensive tiers in modern rack servers and shared storage backplanes. Built on TLC NAND with a 1 DWPD endurance profile over 5 years, the KPM5VRUG15T3 targets predictable latency under sustained 24/7 operation where read caching, VDI boot storms, and read-heavy database access dominate.

Designed for SAS infrastructures, the KPM5VRUG15T3 integrates cleanly into existing HBA and expander topologies while maintaining serviceability through hot-swap operation. The architecture pairs throughput up to 2100 MB/s and 4K read IOPS up to 300K with enterprise integrity controls, enabling dense drive populations without compromising operational stability. For data paths that require continuous protection, the KPM5VRUG15T3 combines Power Loss Protection with TCG Enterprise and AES-256 to support secure-at-rest policies and controlled recovery behaviors during power events.

Why Choose the KPM5VRUG15T3?

The KPM5VRUG15T3 delivers a balanced density-to-performance ratio for read-biased storage pools, allowing IT teams to scale capacity per RU while keeping consistent service levels for latency-sensitive VMs and database front-ends. With high MTTF expectations and features such as Power Disable and PLP, the KPM5VRUG15T3 is suited for standardized fleet deployment where reliability, predictable maintenance windows, and repeatable qualification matter.

Kioxia designs the PM5-R platform around enterprise endurance governance, deterministic behavior under load, and compliance-oriented security features, aligning with data centre requirements for always-on operation, controlled failure domains, and robust drive-level telemetry and protection mechanisms.

Key Applications:

• Read-heavy databases
• VDI boot and login storage
• Server-side caching tiers
• Read-biased virtualisation storage pools
• Encrypted 24/7 internal server storage
