SSD 2.5 inch Kioxia CD8-R — 3.84 TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 (x4), 7200/3800 MB/s, 2.5 inch 15 mm, for server/workstation

The Kioxia CD8-R 3.84 TB is a 2.5" PCIe 4.0 NVMe read‑intensive data center SSD designed for scale‑out and cloud workloads. It uses Kioxia 112‑layer BiCS FLASH 3D TLC memory and a PCIe® 4.0 (16 GT/s x4) interface to provide high sustained read performance and up to 1 DWPD endurance in a 2.5‑inch form factor.

Advantages

This SSD delivers consistent random read performance up to 1,250K IOPS and random write performance up to 200K IOPS while supporting PCIe 4.0 bandwidth for improved throughput. With a 3.84 TB capacity in a 2.5" form factor and 1 DWPD endurance, it is suitable for hyperscale data center environments and cloud applications that require reliable, read‑optimized storage. The drive also offers high sequential read and write speeds (up to 7200 MB/s read and 3800 MB/s write) appropriate for server and workstation use.

Suitable for

• Scale‑out cloud storage and object stores
• Big data and IoT analytics platforms
• Online transaction processing (OLTP)
• Virtualization and VDI hosts
• High‑performance servers and workstations
