Know before you buy
The CM7-V is an enterprise-grade drive optimized for mixed-use workloads. It is ideal for high-performance computing, large-scale transaction processing, and data-intensive IoT applications that require consistent performance.
Yes, it utilizes PCIe 5.0 and NVMe 2.0 technology. This allows for significantly faster data transfer speeds compared to previous generations, reaching up to 14,000 MB/s for sequential reads.
DWPD stands for Drive Writes Per Day. A rating of 3 means you can overwrite the entire 3.2TB capacity of the drive three times every single day for the duration of its warranty period, making it highly durable for write-heavy enterprise environments.
Yes, the drive includes FIPS SED (Self-Encrypting Drive) security. This provides hardware-level encryption to help protect sensitive data from unauthorized access.
The CM7-V uses a standard 2.5-inch form factor with a 15mm thickness. You should verify that your server bay supports this specific depth, as it is thicker than standard consumer laptop SSDs.
The drive has a Mean Time To Failure (MTTF) rating of 2,500,000 hours and comes with a 5-year manufacturer warranty, reflecting its design for long-term reliability in critical enterprise settings.
