Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Read Intensive and Mixed Use SSDs?

Read Intensive SSDs are optimized for workloads with high read-to-write ratios (typically 70-100% reads) — offering higher capacity at lower cost per GB. Mixed Use SSDs support more balanced read/write workloads with higher write endurance ratings.

What is PLP (Power Loss Protection)?

PLP uses onboard capacitors to provide enough power to flush data from volatile write buffers to NAND storage during an unexpected power loss — preventing data corruption and ensuring data integrity.

Is the KPM7XRUG3T84 compatible with SAS 12Gb/s controllers?

Yes — SAS 24Gb/s drives are backward compatible with SAS 12Gb/s controllers, operating at 12Gb/s speeds on older controllers.

Whether you are deploying high-capacity read-intensive SSDs in an enterprise storage array, accelerating web serving and analytics workloads, or replacing aging SAS HDDs with SSD performance, the Kioxia PM7-R (KPM7XRUG3T84) delivers the 3.84TB capacity, SAS 24Gb/s speed, and enterprise data protection your storage infrastructure demands.
