UCS-NVES7T6K1V - 7.6TB E1.S NVMe SSD | Cisco | AI Servers
MPN： UCS-NVES7T6K1V ✗ 停產UCS-NVES7T6K1V 概覽
An NVMe SSD (Non-Volatile Memory Express solid state drive) is a storage device that connects directly to the PCIe bus rather than legacy SATA/SAS controllers, dramatically reducing latency and increasing IOPS. Within the storage hierarchy, it sits as a data center / enterprise SSD under the broader categories of solid state storage and server storage, and the E1.S form factor belongs to the EDSFF (Enterprise and Datacenter Standard Form Factor) family defined to address hyperscale density, power, and thermal requirements aligned with the Open Compute Project (OCP) Datacenter NVMe SSD Specification.
Key features include 7.60 TB of raw capacity, a 15 mm thick E1.S body with integrated heatsink for sustained thermal performance in dense chassis, hot-swap capability for serviceability without powering down the server, and a 3-year limited warranty. The medium-endurance, high-performance classification positions it for read-intensive and mixed workloads such as AI/ML data pipelines, databases, and virtualization rather than extreme write-cycle applications.
Technically, the drive uses KIOXIA XD7P controller and NAND technology designed specifically to E1.S rules, delivering Gen4/Gen5-class NVMe throughput over the PCIe bus while maintaining the power envelope required by hyperscale-style chassis. Cisco qualifies it through the UCS Hardware Compatibility List, ensuring firmware and driver integration with Cisco Intersight and Cisco IMC management.
Typical applications include AI/ML training data staging in the UCS C845A M8 GPU server, high-performance enterprise databases, and software-defined storage tiers where NVMe latency is required at scale.
Design consideration: because Cisco has announced end of sale for 2026-12-25, plan spares procurement and validate equivalent E1.S 15 mm drives against the Cisco UCS HCL before system refresh.

典型應用
UCS-NVES7T6K1V 適用於 6 應用s: AI/ML Training Data Staging, High-Performance Enterprise Databases, Software-Defined Storage (SDS) Tiers, Virtualization and VDI Hosts, Hyperscale-Style Dense Storage Nodes, Media and Analytics Streaming Workloads.
AI/ML Training Data Staging
The Cisco UCS C845A M8 is an NVIDIA MGX-based AI server, and its GPU fleet is routinely starved of data unless local storage delivers high sequential throughput and low latency. The UCS-NVES7T6K1V's 7.60 TB NVMe E1.S drive, built on the KIOXIA XD7P high-performance platform, provides fast local staging of datasets, checkpoints, and tokenized corpora directly beside the accelerators, avoiding network bottlenecks during training loops. Its medium-endurance classification suits read-intensive dataset replay, while the 15 mm body with heatsink sustains thermals in dense chassis. Because Cisco has announced end of sale on 2026-12-25, AI cluster builders should lock in spares now or qualify successor drives through the Cisco UCS HCL before large refreshes.
推薦
High-Performance Enterprise Databases
Transactional databases and analytics engines benefit directly from NVMe's low queue latency over PCIe, and the UCS-NVES7T6K1V's KIOXIA XD7P core is engineered for consistent quality of service under mixed read/write loads. With 7.60 TB per drive and hot-swap serviceability, DBAs can provision dense local log and temp-db volumes in UCS C-Series rack servers and replace failed units without host downtime. The medium-endurance rating is appropriate for read-heavy OLAP and reporting workloads; for extreme write-cycle OLTP, a write-intensive endurance tier should be evaluated. Because the drive qualifies through Cisco's Hardware Compatibility List, firmware and driver behavior is validated with Cisco IMC and Intersight management, reducing integration risk in production database clusters.
推薦
Software-Defined Storage (SDS) Tiers
Distributed storage platforms such as Ceph, vSAN, and Nutanix benefit from an NVMe performance tier, and the UCS-NVES7T6K1V delivers 7.60 TB per E1.S slot, letting a 2U UCS C845A M8 node pack many tens of terabytes of flash without SATA/SAS controllers. The PCIe NVMe path removes controller-level latency, improving IOPS per watt, which matters at hyperscale-style density targets aligned with the OCP Datacenter NVMe SSD Specification the XD7P follows. Hot-swap support simplifies node rebuilds when drives are decommissioned. Deployments should monitor endurance counters via SMART and Intersight, since medium-endurance drives in write-heavy SDS roles will age faster than write-intensive tiers, and end-of-sale timing (2026-12-25) should be factored into multi-year capacity planning.
推薦
Virtualization and VDI Hosts
Virtual desktop and multi-tenant VM hosts generate high random I/O with bursty read patterns, exactly the profile the XD7P high-performance medium-endurance classification targets. Populating a UCS C-Series host with UCS-NVES7T6K1V drives provides 7.60 TB of low-latency local capacity per drive for VM datastores, significantly reducing boot storms and storage-driven latency compared with SAS SSDs. The hot-swap E1.S carrier allows failed drives to be swapped during business hours in supported chassis, preserving VM availability under redundant datastore designs. Integration with Cisco IMC enables drive health monitoring and predictive failure alerts, and the 3-year limited warranty aligns with typical server refresh cycles for VDI estates.
推薦
Hyperscale-Style Dense Storage Nodes
The E1.S EDSFF form factor exists specifically to raise storage density versus 2.5-inch drives, and the XD7P family is designed to OCP Datacenter NVMe SSD Specification requirements for performance, power, and thermal behavior in hyperscale environments. The UCS-NVES7T6K1V's 15 mm variant includes a heatsink for sustained workloads in high-airflow chassis. Integrators building dense NVMe JBOF-style or storage-dense UCS configurations can achieve substantially more TB per RU than legacy form factors allow, while PCIe NVMe keeps per-drive latency low. Note that E1.S drives are not mechanically compatible with U.2 or 2.5-inch bays; verify slot availability per chassis spec sheet before ordering, and confirm airflow supports the 15 mm module's thermal envelope.
推薦
Media and Analytics Streaming Workloads
Video editing proxies, 4K/8K transcoding farms, and large-scale log analytics are read-dominant workloads where the UCS-NVES7T6K1V's high sequential NVMe throughput over PCIe keeps editing timelines and query scans responsive. At 7.60 TB per drive, media asset libraries and log retention windows fit locally in UCS C-Series nodes, avoiding dependence on network arrays for interactive work. The medium-endurance rating matches the mostly-read access pattern, and hot-swap support allows capacity expansion or replacement without downtime in supported Cisco chassis. As this part reaches end of sale on 2026-12-25, media facility planners should quantify per-project capacity needs now and secure spares or qualify HCL-listed successor E1.S drives before fleet-wide refreshes.

主要差異化特點

設計說明
Cisco has announced end of sale for the UCS-NVES7T6K1V= on 2026-12-25 per eol.network lifecycle data. After this date, availability will shift to remaining distributor stock and sealed spares (UCS-NVES7T6K1V=). For multi-year deployments in UCS C845A M8 AI servers, size spare pools now and pre-qualify successor drives via the Cisco UCS Hardware Compatibility List (ucshcltool.cloudapps.cisco.com) before fleet refresh.
The 15 mm E1.S variant exists specifically to accommodate an integrated heatsink for sustained workloads, per the KIOXIA XD7P product page. Verify chassis airflow meets Cisco C845A M8 spec sheet requirements; do not substitute a 9.5 mm XD7P in a 15 mm slot expecting identical sustained thermal performance, as thinner modules without heatsinks throttle earlier under continuous mixed I/O.
Verified sources conflict on the PCIe generation (Gen4 x4 per hssl.us/KIOXIA XD7P description; PCIe 5.0 per CDW listing). Before finalizing power and slot budgeting, confirm the exact interface speed from the Cisco UCS C845A M8 spec sheet PDF. Estimated: a Gen4-class E1.S enterprise SSD typically draws under 25 W, but always validate against the official drive power spec rather than this estimate.
