Kioxia CM5-R 1.92TB U.2 NVMe Enterprise SSD - SDFME05GEA01

Kioxia CM5-R 1.92TB U.2 NVMe Enterprise SSD — SDFME05GEA01 / KCM51RUG1T92

Technical Identity

This is the Kioxia CM5-R 1.92TB U.2 NVMe Enterprise SSD (MPN SDFME05GEA01, equivalent to KCM51RUG1T92), a 2.5-inch 15 mm U.2 (SFF-8639) PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe 1.3 read-intensive data-center solid-state drive. The CM5-R is the read-intensive (~1 DWPD) member of the Kioxia CM5 enterprise NVMe family, built on Kioxia 64-layer BiCS3 3D TLC NAND with a Kioxia proprietary controller. Kioxia was formerly Toshiba Memory Corporation (rebranded in 2019). Condition: Refurbished — tested and certified by T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS.

What This Is NOT

The Kioxia CM5-R SDFME05GEA01 is NOT a consumer or client SSD, NOT a SATA or SAS drive, NOT an M.2 device, and NOT a write-intensive drive (the CM5-V is the ~3 DWPD write-intensive sibling). It is NOT a PCIe 4.0 or PCIe 5.0 drive — the CM5 generation is PCIe 3.0 only; CM6 introduced PCIe 4.0 and CM7 introduced PCIe 5.0. It is NOT an E1.S, E1.L, or E3.S EDSFF device. It is NOT compatible with 7 mm SATA trays.

Compatibility

The Kioxia CM5-R 1.92 TB SDFME05GEA01 requires a U.2 (SFF-8639) NVMe-capable backplane or a U.2-to-PCIe 3.0 x4 adapter. It is deployed in Dell PowerEdge R-series (R640, R740xd, R7415, R7425), HPE ProLiant DL Gen9/Gen10 NVMe-enabled chassis, Lenovo ThinkSystem SR-series, Supermicro NVMe storage platforms, and Pure Storage / NetApp / VAST reference shelves. The drive does NOT operate in SATA backplanes, SAS-only backplanes, or M.2 slots. NVMe management is via standard NVMe-CLI, smartctl, vendor utilities (Kioxia SSD Utility), and VMware ESXi NVMe drivers. For write-heavy workloads (OLTP, WAL, journaling), pair with the Kioxia CM5-V (~3 DWPD) instead.

FAQ

What are the read throughput and IOPS of the Kioxia CM5-R 1.92TB SDFME05GEA01?
The Kioxia CM5-R 1.92TB (SDFME05GEA01 / KCM51RUG1T92) delivers up to 3,400 MB/s sequential read and approximately 610,000 random 4K read IOPS over PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe 1.3. Sequential write is up to 850 MB/s. Endurance is rated at approximately 1 DWPD over 5 years (read-intensive class).

Can the Kioxia CM5-R SDFME05GEA01 handle write-intensive database workloads?
No — the CM5-R is read-intensive at approximately 1 DWPD. Sustained write workloads (OLTP, WAL, logging) will exhaust the drive's endurance prematurely. For write-intensive workloads, the Kioxia CM5-V with approximately 3 DWPD is the correct alternative.

What is the condition of the Kioxia CM5-R SDFME05GEA01 from T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS?
