SSD Kioxia PM7-R 2,5 tuuma SAS 7,68 TB — BiCS FLASH TLC, 4200 MB/s luku, 4100 MB/s kirjoitus

Enterprise 2.5" SAS SSD Kioxia PM7-R with 7.68 TB capacity uses BiCS FLASH TLC memory and is designed for servers and workstations. The drive supports SAS interface with a 22.5 Gbit/s transfer rate and offers high sequential and random performance while maintaining low average power consumption for datacenter and enterprise use.

Advantages

The Kioxia PM7-R provides high sequential read and write throughput (up to 4200 MB/s and 4100 MB/s) together with strong random IOPS performance (up to 720,000 read and 175,000 write for 4 KB), hardware encryption and End-to-End Data Protection. Its 2.5" form factor, wide operating temperature range and low average power draw (5 W) make it suitable for dense server environments and systems requiring reliable, long-term operation.

Suitable for

• Database servers and transaction processing
• Virtualization hosts and hyperconverged infrastructure
• High-performance workstations and content creation
• Enterprise storage arrays and caching tiers
