Dell / Kioxia PM7-R 7.68TB SAS SSD

The Dell / Kioxia 7.68TB SAS SSD (DP/N 07N1WT, Kioxia model KPM7XRUG7T68) is a high-capacity enterprise-grade solid-state drive engineered for modern data centre workloads that demand consistent performance, resilience, and uptime. Built on Kioxia’s PM7-series architecture, it leverages 24Gb/s SAS (SAS-4) connectivity to deliver a strong balance of throughput and reliability within enterprise storage arrays and Dell PowerEdge environments. With a 2.5" SFF 15mm form factor and dual-port design, it is designed for seamless integration into redundant storage architectures where continuous availability is critical.

Optimised for read-intensive enterprise workloads, this 7.68TB SSD is based on advanced 3D TLC NAND technology and delivers sustained performance for virtualisation, database acceleration, analytics, and mixed workload storage tiers. It provides high sequential throughput and strong random I/O performance, enabling responsive data access even under heavy multi-user or multi-VM environments. Enterprise firmware tuning ensures predictable latency and stable performance under prolonged workloads, making it well suited for storage arrays, RAID configurations, and high-density server deployments.

Reliability and data integrity are central to its design, featuring full power-loss protection, end-to-end data path protection, and enterprise-grade error correction. With a durability rating aligned to read-intensive workloads and multi-petabyte endurance capability, it is engineered for long service life in 24/7 environments. This drive is commonly deployed in Dell infrastructure platforms supporting SAS-4 backplanes and enterprise storage systems such as PowerEdge servers and PowerVault arrays, offering a robust and scalable storage solution for modern enterprise requirements.
