KCD81RUG7T68 Kioxia CD8-R 7.68TB PCIe Gen 4 2.5" Server SSD

High-Performance 2.5" U.3 NVMe Datacenter SSD featuring PCIe Gen4 throughput with the KCD81RUG7T68

KCD81RUG7T68 is a Kioxia CD8-R Series 2.5" U.3 NVMe SSD designed to deliver PCIe Gen4 bandwidth and consistent latency in dense server storage tiers. With 7.68TB capacity and a read-optimized endurance profile, KCD81RUG7T68 aligns with read-intensive database nodes, virtualization datastores, and caching layers where predictable QoS is as critical as peak throughput.

Built on 3D TLC NAND with onboard cache, KCD81RUG7T68 targets high queue-depth parallelism typical of modern NVMe software stacks and hypervisor I/O schedulers. The U.3 form factor enables flexible backplane integration across NVMe/SAS/SATA-capable bays, while PCIe Gen4 helps reduce per-transaction service time for metadata-heavy workloads. For platform architects, KCD81RUG7T68 supports scale-out expansion via standard NVMe connectivity, enabling higher IOPS density per rack unit without compromising serviceability in hot-swap 2.5" chassis designs.
