Kioxia Corporation, a world leader in memory solutions, today announced that its lineup of KIOXIA RM7 Series Value SAS SSDs are now available in HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers from Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). KIOXIA RM7 Series SSDs are the latest generation of the company's 12 Gb/s Value SAS SSDs, which provide server applications with higher performance, reliability and lower latency than SATA SSDs, delivering higher IOPS/W and IOPS/$.

In addition to being available in ProLiant servers, KIOXIA RM Series Value SAS SSDs are being used in the HPE Spaceborne Computer-2 (SBC-2). As part of the program, KIOXIA SSDs provide robust flash storage in HPE Edgeline and HPE ProLiant servers in a test environment to conduct scientific experiments aboard the International Space Station (ISS).KIOXIA RM7 Series Value SAS SSD Overview:
12 gigabit per second (Gb/s) SAS interface (SAS-3), single-port
Capacities from 960 gigabytes to 7.68 terabytes
Endurance options include 1 drive write per day (DWPD) and 3 DWPD
Random read performance up to 190,000 IOPS (4K @ 512 queue depth); sequential read performance up to 1,100 megabytes/second (128K)
Sanitize instant erase (SIE) for fast and secure cryptographic erase

Kioxia has been collaborating with HPE to bring Kioxia's best-in-class storage solutions to HPE ProLiant servers for years and enable a broad range of solutions, from mobile to data center to enterprise. Value SAS SSDs enable customers to easily transition away from SSDs using the rapidly aging SATA protocol, while delivering higher performance and reliability.
