Kioxia CM7-V 12.8TB Mixed Use NVMe PCIe Gen5 E3.S Solid State Drive

The Kioxia CM7-V KCM71VJE12T8 stores 12.8TB in the E3.S form factor. It runs NVMe on PCIe Gen5, belongs to the Mixed Use class, and is rated at 3 drive writes per day.

If your servers use E3.S bays, this is the CM7-V to look at for write-heavy mixed workloads such as transactional databases and virtual machine datastores. The E3.S shape is the first thing to verify, since chassis with other drive bays will not accept it.

Mixed Use endurance gives you three times the daily write allowance of a Read Intensive drive at 1 DWPD, so it stays comfortable under steady rewriting. At 12.8TB, one drive also holds a sizeable working set. The drive can be requested new, refurbished or used. Warranty runs 1 year or 3 years on new and refurbished stock, and 90 days on used stock.
