KCD8XPUG15T3 Kioxia CD8P-R 15.36TB PCIe Gen 5 2.5" Server SSD

High-Performance U.2 NVMe Datacenter SSD for PCIe Gen5 storage tiers with the KCD8XPUG15T3

KCD8XPUG15T3 is a Kioxia CD8P-R Series 2.5-inch U.2 NVMe SSD engineered for PCIe Gen5 server backplanes where queue-depth efficiency and consistent latency are critical. By combining 15.36TB TLC NAND with a Gen5 controller path, KCD8XPUG15T3 supports dense, high-capacity nodes while maintaining predictable behavior under mixed, read-heavy and transactional IO profiles.

Designed for modern CPU platforms with Gen5 lanes, KCD8XPUG15T3 enables higher throughput per drive to reduce the number of devices required for target bandwidth, freeing PCIe lanes and bays for GPU, NIC, or accelerator expansion. The architecture delivers up to 12,000 MB/s sequential read and 2,000,000 IOPS 4K random read, aligning with analytics ingest, virtualization datastore consolidation, and caching tiers. Power Loss Protection and end-to-end data protection help preserve in-flight data integrity, while OCP 2.0 compliance supports standardized fleet management and telemetry in hyperscale and enterprise environments.

Why Choose the KCD8XPUG15T3?

KCD8XPUG15T3 provides a practical density-to-performance ratio for Gen5 NVMe tiers, enabling fewer drives to meet service-level objectives while simplifying scaling across clustered hosts. With 1 DWPD endurance over 5 years, 2.5M hours reliability, and enterprise sanitation features, it fits controlled deployments where uptime, secure decommissioning, and operational consistency drive purchasing decisions.

Kioxia designs datacenter flash with a focus on sustained performance, power-aware operation, and standards alignment for rack-scale integration. The CD8P-R engineering approach emphasizes robust firmware behavior, lifecycle endurance modeling, and reliability mechanisms suited to always-on storage pools.

Key Applications:

• Latency-sensitive databases and OLTP
• Virtualized infrastructure datastores
• High-throughput analytics and data pipelines
• Read-heavy content delivery and caching
