SSD disk Kioxia 7.68 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, designed for read-intensive, scale-out and cloud applications. It uses a PCIe 5.0 (32 GT/s x4) interface and KIOXIA BiCS FLASH™ generation 5 TLC memory, offering capacities up to 7.68 TB (and up to 30.72 TB across the series) with an endurance rating of 1 DWPD. The drive delivers up to 2,000K IOPS random read and 200K IOPS random write, with sequential read performance improved by 60–80% over the previous PCIe 4.0 generation.

Advantages

Offers high random read performance and improved sequential read throughput thanks to PCIe 5.0 and generation 5 TLC flash. The 2.5" form factor and support for high capacities make it suitable for dense server deployments. With a 1 DWPD endurance rating, the SSD balances endurance and capacity for read-intensive data center workloads.

Suitable for

• Scale-out cloud storage and hyperscale data centers
• Big data and IoT storage nodes
• Online transaction processing (OLTP)
• Virtualization and high-density server environments
• Servers and workstations requiring high-capacity NVMe storage

How to use

Install the SSD into a compatible 2.5" NVMe slot or drive bay on a server or workstation that supports PCIe 5.0 x4 for optimal performance; it is backward compatible with PCIe 4.0/3.0 with corresponding performance levels. Configure the operating system and storage stack to recognize NVMe devices, then format and provision capacity according to your application requirements. Observe standard data center handling and electrostatic discharge precautions during installation.

Recommendations

For maximum performance, deploy in systems with PCIe 5.0 support and use firmware and drivers from the system or motherboard vendor. Monitor drive health and endurance metrics and align provisioning with the 1 DWPD endurance rating to ensure suitability for read-intensive workloads.
