KPM71VUG12T8 Kioxia PM7-V 12.8TB SAS 2.5" Server SSD

High-Performance 2.5in SAS Enterprise SSD with encryption and hot-swap serviceability using the KPM71VUG12T8

KPM71VUG12T8 is a Kioxia PM7-V 12.8TB TLC enterprise SAS SSD designed for 24/7 storage arrays where predictable latency and continuous availability are mandatory. Built for mixed-use database and virtualisation profiles, KPM71VUG12T8 aligns high sequential throughput with strong 4K random IOPS to sustain transactional workloads, dense VM farms, and tiered storage designs without over-provisioning the host platform.

By leveraging a dual-port SAS architecture, KPM71VUG12T8 integrates cleanly into redundant controller paths and multipath I/O, while the 2.5in hot-swap form factor supports non-disruptive replacement in rack-scale deployments. The NAND and controller design is tuned for sustained write behavior under pressure, with 3 DWPD endurance enabling cache, boot, and primary data roles. For data integrity, KPM71VUG12T8 combines power loss protection with Power Disable support to reduce failure domains during maintenance events.

Why Choose the KPM71VUG12T8?

KPM71VUG12T8 provides a balanced density-to-performance profile for enterprise storage tiers that require high capacity per bay, consistent service times, and operational continuity. With dual-port connectivity, high endurance, and hardware-based AES-256 encryption, KPM71VUG12T8 is suited for scalable arrays that must meet availability targets while simplifying fleet standardisation across mixed workloads.

Kioxia engineers its enterprise SSDs around sustained performance, controlled thermal and power behavior, and long-life qualification for data centre duty cycles. The PM7-V platform targets modern SAS infrastructures with reliability characteristics aligned to continuous operation and disciplined lifecycle management.
