Kioxia KCD8XPUG7T68 CD8-P 7.68TB PCIe 5.0 x4 2.5" enterprise SSD
Enterprise 2.5" SSD with 7.68TB capacity, PCIe 5.0 x4 interface, 12000 Mb/s sequential read and 5500 Mb/s sequential write speeds
- 68 TB capacity supports large enterprise workloads
- PCI Express 5.0 x4 interface delivers 12,000 MB/s sequential read speed
- 5,500 MB/s sequential write speed accelerates data-intensive tasks
- 2,000k IOPS random read handles heavy transaction processing
- 200k IOPS random write sustains mixed I/O performance
Capacity and interface
The Kioxia CD8-P delivers 7.68TB of storage over a PCI Express 5.0 x4 connection in a 2.5-inch form factor. It is built for enterprise servers that need high-capacity solid-state storage with a modern interface. The drive targets workloads such as database hosting, virtualisation and content delivery where consistent throughput matters.
Thermals and steady power
Sequential reads reach 12,000 Mb/s while sequential writes run at 5,500 Mb/s under normal operation. Random read performance is rated at 2000k IOPS and random write at 200k IOPS. These figures reflect sustained throughput within the drive's standard thermal envelope without short-term burst allowances.
Behaviour under sustained load
The same sequential and random specifications apply when the drive is pushed continuously rather than in brief bursts. Read and write speeds hold at 12,000 Mb/s and 5,500 Mb/s respectively, with random performance steady at 2000k IOPS read and 200k IOPS write. Workloads requiring more IOPS or higher write bandwidth would need additional drives.

Questions about this item
How is the 2.5" PCIe 5.0 x4 drive installed in a server bay?
Slide the 2.5-inch U.2/U.3 carrier into the hot-swap bay until the connector seats and the latch clicks; the step often missed is securing the retention screw or tool-less clip so vibration cannot unseat the PCIe 5.0 x4 link.
What maintenance or replacement will the 7.68 TB CD8-P need later?
The drive has no user-serviceable parts; plan replacement when the SMART media-percentage-used attribute nears the rated endurance limit or if sustained write throughput drops well below the 5,500 MB/s specification.
What limit appears first on the KCD8XPUG7T68 during sustained heavy writes?
The sequential write ceiling of 5,500 MB/s is reached before the 200k random-write IOPS limit, so sustained large-block workloads hit the throughput bound first.
