Kioxia CM7-V 12.8TB Mixed Use NVMe PCIe Gen5 SFF Solid State Drive

Where the Read Intensive drives in the Kioxia range are tuned for reads, the Kioxia CM7-V 12.8TB, MPN KCMY1VUG12T8, is a Mixed Use drive. Its rating is 3 drive writes per day, three times the 1 DWPD figure of a Read Intensive model, and it keeps the NVMe interface on PCIe Gen5.

That extra write allowance matters for databases, virtualization hosts and logging pipelines, where data is both read and rewritten throughout the day. You get 12.8TB per drive in a 2.5-inch SFF package that fits standard small form factor NVMe bays.

A large Mixed Use drive can also cut the number of devices in a server that would otherwise need several smaller ones. This part can be requested as new, refurbished or used. New and refurbished units list 1 year or 3 years of warranty, and used units list 90 days.
