KIOXIA PM5-R 1.92 TB (KPM5XRUG1T92)
Model-specific catalog record for full manufacturer SKU KPM5XRUG1T92. Rated endurance and performance below are manufacturer figures; configured host, firmware, workload and cooling affect results.
IDENTIFICATION: Match the complete part number KPM5XRUG1T92, capacity and label before installation. This is a SAS product, not a SATA SSD.
Specifications
| Manufacturer / model | KIOXIA (Toshiba) PM5-R |
|---|---|
| Full SKU / option | KPM5XRUG1T92 — read-intensive (PM5-R) SIE variant. |
| Interface / protocol | Dual/single-port 12 Gb/s SAS, supports MultiLink SAS; SAS protocol, not SATA or NVMe. |
| Capacity / form factor | 1.92 TB formatted capacity; 2.5-inch SFF, 15 mm height. |
| NAND / endurance class | 64-layer BiCS FLASH 3D TLC NAND; read-intensive class rated at 1 DWPD over a 5-year warranty period. Manufacturer-published lifetime writes are capacity-specific; a lifetime rating is not a promise of field life. |
| Performance | Manufacturer states up to 2,100 MB/s sequential read and 1,000 MB/s sequential write (128 KB), with up to 375,000 random-read IOPS and 48,000 random-write IOPS (4 KB) on a 12 Gb/s dual-port link. This is a family ceiling, not a per-drive benchmark; throughput and latency vary with SKU, queue depth, workload, link and host settings. |
| Power-loss protection / power | Manufacturer lists power-loss protection, end-to-end data protection and T10 DIF support; typical ready-state power is about 5.0 W. Use the matching datasheet table for enclosure thermal and power budgets. |
| Host compatibility | Requires a SAS HBA/controller and SAS-capable backplane/cabling; dual-port operation depends on host topology. A SATA-only host/controller cannot speak SAS. Check server/OEM firmware qualification, connector/caddy clearance for 15 mm height, sector format and supported capacities before deployment. |
Compatibility & service notes
- Use a SAS controller and backplane; don't infer support from physical similarity to a SATA 2.5-inch drive.
- For SIE (Sanitize Instant Erase) and SED variants, encryption/erase provisioning depends on the controller, operating system and security policy; retain required keys before service.
- Confirm dual-port cabling, link negotiation, capacity and firmware support with the server or storage-array vendor. OEM firmware may differ from retail firmware.
- Record label, firmware, host/controller, date and SMART/health snapshot. Keep verified backups and periodic integrity checks.
