Overview of KIOXIA RM7-V Series SAS SSDs

The KIOXIA KRM7VVUG1T92 RM7-V 1.92TB Self-encrypting SSD belongs to the advanced RM7-V Series by KIOXIA, formerly Toshiba Memory. Designed for enterprise environments, this 2.5-inch solid-state drive (SSD) offers a SAS 12Gbps interface, optimal for high-performance, mixed-use applications. It delivers the endurance, reliability, and speed required for demanding data center and enterprise storage infrastructures.

High-Performance SAS Interface

The KIOXIA RM7-V SSD series utilizes a 12Gbps SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface, ensuring fast data transfers and high IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second). This interface is ideal for enterprise environments where storage throughput and reliability are crucial. The dual-port SAS interface also supports high availability and multi-path configurations, minimizing downtime and enhancing data access efficiency.

Advanced Data Integrity and Protection

This SSD is built with end-to-end data protection, featuring protection against data corruption from the host to the storage media. With built-in ECC (Error Correction Code), RAID features, and power-loss protection, the drive is engineered for maximum data reliability, safeguarding mission-critical information in enterprise applications.

Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) Capability

The KIOXIA KRM7VVUG1T92 comes with self-encrypting drive (SED) features based on TCG Enterprise standards. These security capabilities protect data at rest, making it suitable for environments where regulatory compliance and data confidentiality are paramount. Encryption is done without affecting performance, enabling secure, seamless operations.

1.92TB Storage Capacity for Mixed-Use Workloads

With a capacity of 1.92TB, this SSD provides a balanced combination of high performance and sufficient storage for various mixed-use applications. These include database servers, virtualized environments, online transaction processing (OLTP), and analytics workloads that demand both high read and write endurance.

TLC NAND Flash Technology

The RM7-V SSDs use Triple-Level Cell (TLC) NAND flash memory, which balances cost, performance, and endurance. TLC flash enables greater density and affordability while maintaining high performance levels, making it ideal for enterprise deployments with mixed read/write workloads.

Enhanced Write Endurance

Engineered for mixed-use applications, the drive supports a balanced endurance profile—allowing multiple drive writes per day (DWPD). This makes the KIOXIA RM7-V series ideal for workloads that are neither purely read-intensive nor write-intensive but demand endurance in both areas.

2.5-Inch Form Factor Compatibility

The 2.5-inch form factor of the KIOXIA RM7-V 1.92TB SSD provides wide compatibility with standard enterprise storage arrays and servers. This industry-standard size makes it an easy upgrade or replacement option for existing infrastructures using traditional hard drives or earlier-generation SSDs.

Hot-Swap Support for Server Environments

This SSD supports hot-swapping capabilities, a crucial feature for minimizing downtime in enterprise environments. IT administrators can replace or upgrade the drive without shutting down the system, ensuring continuous service availability.

Enterprise-Grade Reliability

Reliability is a core feature of the KIOXIA RM7-V series. With a mean time to failure (MTTF) of over 2 million hours and enterprise-class endurance, the RM7-V 1.92TB SSD is built to deliver consistent performance and high availability across its lifespan.

Power-Loss Protection Technology

One of the key reliability features is the built-in power-loss protection. This safeguard ensures that data in flight is preserved in the event of a sudden power outage, maintaining data integrity and protecting against corruption or loss during critical operations.

Thermal Monitoring and Throttling

Thermal management is essential for SSD longevity and performance consistency. The RM7-V includes temperature sensors and dynamic thermal throttling mechanisms that prevent overheating while maintaining optimal performance under varying workloads.

SMART Monitoring Tools

The drive supports Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART), which enables proactive monitoring of drive health. IT teams can identify potential issues early and plan for maintenance or replacements ahead of failures.

Optimized for Data Center Workloads

This SSD is purpose-built for data center environments requiring high reliability and multi-user performance. Whether it's in storage arrays, blade servers, or hyper-converged infrastructure platforms, the RM7-V 1.92TB SSD delivers consistent IOPS and low latency for modern enterprise workloads.

Latency Optimization for Multi-User Environments

Enterprise applications demand low latency for real-time responsiveness. The KIOXIA RM7-V is optimized to minimize read/write latencies even under high concurrent user access scenarios, making it ideal for database, VDI, and OLTP applications.

Balanced Workload Processing

With its mixed-use classification, the SSD delivers a reliable balance of performance and endurance for workloads that require both frequent reading and moderate-to-heavy writing, ensuring uninterrupted application availability and data integrity.

Energy Efficiency and Power Management

Energy consumption is a key consideration in large-scale IT operations. The KIOXIA RM7-V SSD includes energy-saving features like power mode transitions and active idle modes, helping reduce overall data center power and cooling costs.

Low Active and Idle Power Draw

This SSD features low active and idle power usage, contributing to better TCO (Total Cost of Ownership). Despite its high-performance specs, the RM7-V remains energy-efficient, making it a smart choice for dense, high-performance server deployments.

Compatibility and Integration

The RM7-V 1.92TB drive offers broad compatibility with major operating systems and enterprise server hardware. Whether deployed in Linux, Windows Server, or VMware environments, it integrates seamlessly, providing plug-and-play functionality in most enterprise configurations.

Backward Compatibility with 6Gbps SAS

Although designed for 12Gbps SAS environments, the RM7-V is backward compatible with legacy 6Gbps SAS interfaces, ensuring broad integration possibilities without compromising drive stability or functionality.

Compliance and Certifications

The KIOXIA RM7-V SSD is compliant with industry standards such as TCG Enterprise SED, RoHS, and advanced power management protocols. These certifications guarantee environmental responsibility, security, and optimal power usage for enterprise operations.

FIPS and TAA Considerations

For customers in government or defense sectors, the drive supports configurations that meet FIPS 140-2 encryption standards and is manufactured to comply with TAA (Trade Agreements Act) for government procurement requirements.
