KCD8XRUG7T68 Kioxia CD8-R 7.68TB PCIe Gen 4 2.5" Server SSD

High-Density 2.5in U.2 NVMe Data Center SSD with PCIe Gen4 performance using the KCD8XRUG7T68

The KCD8XRUG7T68 is a Kioxia CD8-R Series enterprise data center SSD designed to maximize read throughput and predictable latency in 2.5in U.2 server and storage platforms. Built on 3D TLC NAND and tuned for read-intensive tiers, the KCD8XRUG7T68 supports high-density NVMe datastore designs while maintaining controlled endurance at 1 DWPD over 5 years.

Using an NVMe PCIe Gen4 x4 interface, the KCD8XRUG7T68 is engineered to reduce queueing overhead and accelerate parallel I/O paths typical of modern multi-core CPU architectures and virtualized hosts. Its 7.68TB capacity aligns with scale-out storage pools, while the balanced write capability supports index and log acceleration for mixed-read database patterns. Power characteristics are optimized for data center constraints, enabling dense deployments where thermal headroom and per-node power budgets matter.

Why Choose the KCD8XRUG7T68?

The KCD8XRUG7T68 delivers a practical density-to-performance profile for enterprises standardizing on Gen4 NVMe backplanes, offering high sequential bandwidth and strong 4K read IOPS for analytics and content delivery tiers.
