Read-intensive data-centre SSD

The Kioxia KCD8XPUG7T68 is a 7.68 TB enterprise solid-state drive built for read-heavy workloads such as big-data analytics, online transaction processing and virtualisation. It uses a 2.5-inch 15 mm form factor with a U.2/U.3 interface and is rated for one drive write per day over a 24x7 service life.

PCIe 5.0 x4 and PLP

A PCIe 5.0 32 GT/s x4 link delivers up to 2 000 K random-read IOPS and 200 K random-write IOPS, while sequential-read throughput rises 60 to 80 per cent over the previous PCIe 4.0 generation. On-board power-loss protection and end-to-end data correction preserve data integrity during unexpected power events.

Verify U.2/U.3 slot and 15 mm clearance

Confirm the server or storage chassis provides a U.2/U.3 backplane bay that accepts a 15 mm thick 2.5-inch drive and can supply adequate cooling for continuous operation. Systems limited to 7 mm bays or PCIe 4.0-only backplanes will not accommodate this SSD.

Questions about this item

Will the 7.68TB capacity or 1 DWPD endurance rating require early replacement in a read-intensive server?

The drive is rated for 1 DWPD, meaning you can write the full 7.68TB once every day for the warranty period. For read-heavy workloads like analytics or virtualization, writes are typically far below that level, so the NAND should last the intended service life.

What performance limit appears first during sustained heavy reads on the PCIe 5.0 x4 link?

The controller sustains up to 2,000K random read IOPS and 200K random write IOPS. Under continuous read-heavy load the random read ceiling is reached before the 32 GT/s interface saturates, so queue depth and workload mix become the practical bottleneck.

How much heat and power does the 15mm U.2 drive generate when running 24/7?

The CD8P-R series uses a single-port PCIe 5.0 controller with BiCS FLASH Gen 5 TLC. Power draw scales with active IOPS; at the rated 2,000K random read IOPS the drive operates within standard 2.5-inch 15mm thermal limits for data-center chassis airflow.
