Interné NVMe SSD Kioxia CD8‑R 7,68 TB 2,5" PCIe 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.4, TLC, 7100/6000 MB/s

The Kioxia CD8-R is a data center NVMe read-intensive SSD in a 2.5" form factor, designed for scale-out and cloud applications such as big data, IoT, online transaction processing and virtualization. It uses a PCIe 4.0 (16 GT/s x4) interface and KIOXIA 112-layer BiCS FLASH 3D TLC memory, providing up to 1 DWPD endurance and capacities suitable for hyperscale deployments, with the shown model offering 7.68 TB of usable storage.

Advantages

The CD8-R delivers high and consistent random read and write performance, supporting up to 1,250K IOPS random read and 200K IOPS random write, and offers PCIe 4.0 bandwidth for faster sequential transfers. Built with 112-layer BiCS FLASH TLC, it balances density and endurance while providing enterprise-grade reliability in a compact 2.5" form factor. The 7.68 TB capacity model combines large storage density with read-intensive endurance of 1 DWPD.

Suitable for

How to use

Install the SSD into a compatible 2.5" drive bay or U.2/adapter that supports PCIe 4.0 NVMe connectivity following your server or workstation hardware instructions. Ensure the host firmware and NVMe driver are up to date. Configure the drive in the operating system or hypervisor as required for your workload (for example, format, partition, or add to a storage pool). Monitor health and SMART attributes with standard tools to track endurance and performance.

Recommendations

Use this read-intensive SSD in applications and workloads where high sustained read throughput and large capacity are priorities. For write-heavy workloads, consider drives with higher DWPD ratings. Keep firmware updated and operate the drive within vendor-specified temperature and power guidelines to ensure reliability.
