HPE 15.36TB SAS 12G RI SFF 2.5" SED SSD Kioxia PM7-R Series KPM7WRUG15T3 P54599-004

The HPE 15.36TB SAS Read Intensive (RI) Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) SSD delivers enterprise-class performance, reliability, and security for data center, server, and storage array environments. Built on the Kioxia PM7-R Series platform, this SSD combines massive storage capacity, advanced SAS connectivity, and hardware-based encryption to protect sensitive data.

Although commonly marketed by HPE as a 12G SAS SSD, the Kioxia KPM7WRUG15T3 is based on modern 24G SAS-4 architecture and remains fully backward compatible with existing 12G SAS infrastructures, making it an ideal upgrade for HPE ProLiant servers and HPE MSA storage systems.
