KPM61RUG960G Kioxia PM6-R 960GB SAS 2.5" Server SSD

High-Performance 2.5-inch SAS Enterprise SSD featuring dual-port high-availability storage paths with the KPM61RUG960G

The KPM61RUG960G is a Kioxia PM6-R Series 2.5-inch SAS SSD engineered for read-intensive tiers where consistent latency and predictable QoS matter more than peak write throughput. Built on 96-layer 3D TLC (BiCS FLASH), the KPM61RUG960G aligns well with boot, cache, and application volumes that must remain responsive under mixed queue depths while maintaining enterprise endurance targets for steady-state operation.

Using a dual-port SAS interface, the KPM61RUG960G supports redundant paths for high-availability backplanes and multipath I/O, improving fault tolerance in clustered servers and storage shelves. The architecture is optimized for fast reads up to 4150 MB/s and strong 4K random read capability up to 595k IOPS, while still sustaining controlled write performance for metadata, journaling, and VM housekeeping. With 1 DWPD over 5 years and 1750 TBW, it fits read-heavy profiles without overprovisioning. End-to-end data protection, T10 DIF, and power-loss protection help preserve in-flight data integrity across the storage stack.

Why Choose the KPM61RUG960G?

The KPM61RUG960G delivers a practical density-to-performance ratio for enterprise SAS platforms that prioritize availability and data integrity. Dual-port connectivity supports resilient deployment designs, while predictable read-focused performance helps scale virtualization datastores and application tiers without destabilizing shared storage resources. The KPM61RUG960G is suited to standardized 2.5-inch service workflows and consistent fleet operation.

Kioxia designs the PM6-R family for modern data centre requirements, combining controlled endurance profiles with enterprise reliability features and validation for SAS infrastructures. The KPM61RUG960G reflects this engineering focus through robust error protection, power safety mechanisms, and long-life operational expectations.
