SSD disk Kioxia 1.92 TB 2.5 inch PCI Express 5.0 NVMe CD8P-R

The Kioxia CD8P-R is a data center NVMe SSD in a 2.5" form factor offering 1.92 TB capacity and a PCIe 5.0 (32 GT/s x4) interface. Designed for read-intensive scale-out and cloud workloads, it uses Kioxia BiCS FLASH™ generation 5 TLC memory and provides 1 DWPD endurance. The drive delivers up to 2,000K IOPS random read and 200K IOPS random write, with a significant improvement in sequential read performance over the prior PCIe 4.0 generation.

Advantages

The CD8P-R combines PCIe 5.0 throughput with BiCS FLASH™ Gen5 TLC to provide higher sequential read speeds and consistent random-read performance suitable for large-scale data center deployments. Its 1 DWPD endurance rating and available capacities up to 30.72 TB make it applicable for hyperscale environments while maintaining a compact 2.5" silver chassis and a lightweight profile.

Suitable for

• Scale-out cloud storage and object stores
• Big data and IoT analytics platforms
• Online transaction processing (OLTP)
• Virtualization and hyperconverged infrastructure

How to use

Install the SSD in a server or storage chassis that supports a 2.5" NVMe drive and PCIe 5.0 host lanes, following the system vendor’s installation instructions. Ensure the host firmware and NVMe driver are up to date to take full advantage of PCIe 5.0 performance. Configure the drive in the operating system or storage stack according to your workload requirements and perform standard provisioning, formatting, and monitoring procedures.

Recommendations

For best results in read-intensive deployments, use the CD8P-R in systems with adequate cooling and firmware/driver support for PCIe 5.0. Monitor SMART attributes and workload patterns to maintain endurance and performance over time.
