KPM71RUG7T68 Kioxia PM7-R 7.68TB SAS 2.5" Server SSD

High-Performance 2.5in SAS Enterprise SSD featuring SED security and mixed-workload tuning with the KPM71RUG7T68

KPM71RUG7T68 is a Kioxia PM7-R Series 7.68TB 2.5in SAS enterprise SSD engineered for primary database tiers and mixed read/write storage pools where predictable latency and data integrity are mandatory. Built on 3D TLC NAND, it targets balanced throughput and sustained serviceability across virtualized hosts, scale-out storage nodes, and transactional platforms that require consistent QoS under concurrency.

With a SAS interface optimized for dual-port enterprise backplanes, KPM71RUG7T68 integrates cleanly into existing server storage architectures while delivering up to 4200 MB/s read and 4100 MB/s write, plus up to 720K/175K 4K random IOPS. The drive’s 1 DWPD for 5 years (14,000 TBW) aligns with mixed workload read/write tiers, and its low, steady 5W active profile supports dense deployments. For resilient operation, KPM71RUG7T68 incorporates Power Loss Protection and a Power Disable feature to enhance service safety during maintenance and rack-level power events.

Why Choose the KPM71RUG7T68?

KPM71RUG7T68 provides an enterprise-ready density-to-performance ratio in a standard 2.5in form factor, enabling capacity expansion without redesigning SAS storage shelves or server bays. Its architecture prioritizes reliability at scale through end-to-end data path controls, making it suitable for clustered environments where drive behavior must remain consistent across thousands of devices.

Kioxia designs the PM7-R platform with data center lifecycle requirements in mind, combining proven NAND management, rigorous validation, and reliability targets such as 2.5M hours MTTF/MTBF. The result is a standards-aligned storage component that supports modern security, availability, and serviceability expectations in enterprise infrastructure.

Key Applications:

• Database primary storage tiers
• Mixed read/write virtualization storage
• Server boot and OS volumes
• Cache and latency-sensitive VM datastores
• Encrypted at-rest data repositories
