KCD8XPUG30T7 Kioxia CD8P-R 30.72TB PCIe Gen 5 2.5" Server SSD

High-Performance U.2 NVMe Datacenter SSD with PCIe Gen5 Throughput Using the KCD8XPUG30T7

KCD8XPUG30T7 is a Kioxia CD8P-R Series datacenter SSD engineered for PCIe Gen5 NVMe storage tiers where latency, deterministic QoS, and rack-level density are primary design constraints. In a 2.5-inch U.2 form factor, it aligns with modern server backplanes to simplify scale-out deployment while delivering up to 10,000 MB/s reads for read-optimized platforms.

With 30.72TB of TLC NAND, KCD8XPUG30T7 supports high-capacity consolidation without compromising enterprise data integrity. The PCIe Gen5 interface expands available bandwidth per lane, reducing contention in multi-SSD NVMe domains and improving headroom for virtualization hosts and database read-heavy profiles. End-to-end data protection, Sanitize Instant Erase (SIE), and OCP 2.0 support integrate cleanly into security and lifecycle processes, while power loss protection helps preserve in-flight data during unexpected power events. For sustained operations, KCD8XPUG30T7 is specified at 1 DWPD over 5 years with 56,060 TBW, enabling predictable endurance planning for 24/7 fleets.

Why Choose the KCD8XPUG30T7?

KCD8XPUG30T7 delivers a strong density-to-performance ratio for all-flash arrays and high-density NVMe tiers, combining Gen5 bandwidth with enterprise-grade safeguards for reliable multi-tenant service. Its U.2 integration supports straightforward scaling across standard 2.5-inch bays, enabling consistent performance expansion without architectural redesign.

Kioxia designs datacenter SSDs with a focus on controlled firmware behavior, qualification discipline, and compatibility with current data centre standards.
