SSD disk Kioxia 3.2 TB 2.5 inch PCI Express 5.0 NVMe BiCS FLASH TLC

KIOXIA CD8P-V Series is a mixed-use data center NVMe SSD in a 2.5" form factor that supports scale-out and cloud applications such as big data/IoT, online transaction processing and virtualization. This CD8P-V model uses a PCIe 5.0 (32 GT/s x4) interface and KIOXIA BiCS FLASH™ generation 5 TLC flash memory to deliver high capacity and endurance in server and workstation environments.

Advantages

The SSD provides consistent high random IOPS performance up to 2,000K (random read) and 400K (random write), offers a 60–80% increase in sequential read throughput compared with the previous PCIe 4.0 generation, and delivers 3 DWPD endurance. The 2.5" 3.2 TB capacity balances high density storage with a compact form factor and is suitable for demanding mixed-use workloads.

Suitable for

• Hyperscale and enterprise data center servers
• Virtualized environments and VM hosting
• Online transaction processing (OLTP)
• Big data and IoT storage nodes
• Workstations and high-performance compute nodes

How to use

Install the SSD in a compatible 2.5" bay or drive carrier with a host supporting PCIe 5.0 and NVMe. Follow the server or workstation manufacturer’s instructions for drive installation, firmware updates and secure mounting. After physical installation, initialize and format the drive in the operating system or hypervisor according to your storage configuration and use the SSD as primary or secondary storage for applications, databases or virtualization workloads.

Recommendations

For sustained peak performance, use the SSD in systems with PCIe 5.0 support and ensure proper thermal management. Monitor drive health and firmware updates from KIOXIA, and align workload distribution to benefit from mixed-use endurance (3 DWPD) and high random IOPS characteristics.
