KCD8XRUG1T92 Kioxia CD8-R 1.92TB PCIe Gen 4 2.5" Server SSD

High-Performance U.2 2.5in Datacenter NVMe SSD enabling PCIe Gen4 mixed-workload storage with the KCD8XRUG1T92

KCD8XRUG1T92 is a Kioxia CD8-R Series U.2 2.5in (15mm) PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD engineered for predictable latency under mixed read/write virtualisation and cloud infrastructure. Built on 3D NAND TLC, it targets high queue-depth service levels by combining fast sequential throughput with strong 4K responsiveness, supporting consolidation where VM density and storage contention are primary design constraints.

With a PCIe Gen4 host interface, KCD8XRUG1T92 reduces IO wait time in modern CPU platforms by sustaining high bandwidth while keeping power within typical server thermal envelopes. The 1.92TB capacity point is optimised for scale-out nodes, and the U.2 form factor aligns with enterprise backplanes for hot-swap serviceability. Endurance is tuned for transactional and analytics pipelines at 1 DWPD over 5 years, balancing write capability and cost control in fleets that require continuous 24/7 operation.

Why Choose the KCD8XRUG1T92?

KCD8XRUG1T92 delivers a practical density-to-performance ratio for hyperscale and enterprise clusters that standardise on OCP 2.0 aligned storage nodes. It supports consistent deployment logic across racks by pairing high IOPS capability with enterprise safeguards, simplifying capacity planning and scaling-out without introducing interface or form-factor exceptions.

Kioxia designs the CD8-R portfolio around datacenter reliability, prioritising stable QoS, controlled power behaviour, and compatibility with modern server storage architectures. Features such as Power Loss Protection, End-to-End Data Protection, and Sanitize Instant Erase (SIE) align with operational requirements for secure lifecycle management and resilient data paths.

Key Applications:

• Virtualisation and cloud infrastructure
• High-IOPS transactional databases
• Real-time analytics and data processing
• OCP 2.0 hyperscale storage nodes
