Dell / Kioxia PM7-R 1.92TB SAS SSD

The Dell 1.92TB SAS SSD, powered by the Kioxia PM7-R platform and identified by Dell Part Number 06K35K and model KPM7XRUG1T92, delivers enterprise-class storage performance for modern data centre environments. Built around Kioxia's advanced BiCS TLC NAND technology and leveraging the latest 24Gb/s SAS interface, this drive offers significantly higher bandwidth than previous 12Gb/s SAS generations while maintaining the reliability and compatibility expected from mission-critical enterprise storage. Its 2.5-inch Small Form Factor design allows seamless integration into Dell PowerEdge servers and PowerVault storage systems, making it an ideal choice for organisations looking to expand storage capacity while improving application responsiveness and overall system efficiency.

Designed as a Read Intensive (RI) enterprise SSD, the drive is optimised for workloads that demand exceptional read performance, including virtualisation platforms, cloud infrastructure, content delivery, data analytics, database acceleration, backup repositories and software-defined storage environments. Delivering sequential read speeds of up to 4.2GB/s, sequential write speeds up to 3.4GB/s, and up to 720,000 random read IOPS, the PM7-R architecture provides the performance needed to support demanding enterprise applications while maintaining predictable latency under heavy workloads. The dual-port SAS design further enhances availability by enabling redundant data paths, ensuring continuous access to critical data in high-availability server and storage deployments.

Enterprise reliability features are integrated throughout the drive's design, including power-loss protection, end-to-end data path protection, advanced error correction technologies and support for industry-standard data integrity features. Rated for 24/7 operation with an endurance specification of 1 Drive Write Per Day (DWPD) and a Mean Time To Failure (MTTF) of 2.5 million hours, the Dell 06K35K is engineered to deliver long-term operational stability in demanding environments. Support for 512e sector formatting ensures broad compatibility across Dell server generations, while the efficient power profile helps reduce operating costs without compromising performance, making this SSD a dependable storage solution for enterprise deployments requiring a balance of speed, endurance and reliability.
