KCD8XPUG6T40 Kioxia CD8P-V 6.4TB U.3 NVMe 2.5" Server SSD

High-Performance 2.5" U.3 NVMe Datacenter SSD for read-intensive tiers with the KCD8XPUG6T40

KCD8XPUG6T40 is a Kioxia CD8P-V Series 2.5" U.3 NVMe SSD engineered for modern PCIe-based server storage planes where low latency and predictable QoS matter most. As an internal NVMe device aligned to OCP 2.0 design expectations, KCD8XPUG6T40 integrates cleanly into dense 1U/2U platforms and storage nodes that need consistent read throughput for database and analytics acceleration.

Built for high-IOPS NVMe tiers, KCD8XPUG6T40 leverages the parallelism of PCIe NVMe to reduce CPU wait states and increase application-level concurrency, particularly in virtualization, cloud boot, and metadata-heavy layers. The 6.4TB capacity point supports balanced capacity-to-IOPS planning, while sequential performance up to 12,000 MB/s read and 5,500 MB/s write helps sustain fast ingest and rebuild operations. Random performance up to 2,000,000 IOPS 4K read and 400,000 IOPS 4K write targets read-intensive profiles without over-provisioning power or bays.

Why Choose the KCD8XPUG6T40?

KCD8XPUG6T40 delivers a practical density-to-performance ratio for enterprise fleets by combining U.3 serviceability with a read-optimized endurance profile of 3 DWPD over 5 years. With power-efficient operation (5W idle, up to 21W active), KCD8XPUG6T40 supports scale-out deployments where thermal and power envelopes constrain per-node performance, while still enabling predictable scaling across hosts.

Kioxia designs the CD8P-V platform with datacenter reliability as a primary constraint, pairing 2.5M hours MTBF/MTTF with enterprise data-protection mechanisms. End-to-End Data Protection, Power Loss Protection, and Sanitize Instant Erase (SIE) help maintain integrity and operational hygiene in multi-tenant and regulated environments where SSD behavior must be deterministic under failure and lifecycle events.

Key Applications:

• Read-intensive databases
• Analytics and query acceleration tiers
• Virtualization boot and metadata tiers
• Cloud infrastructure caching layers
• High-IOPS NVMe storage for servers and workstations
