KIOXIA CD8-R 15.36TB 2.5″ U.2 NVMe Enterprise SSD (KCD8XRUG15T3) – PCIe Gen4, 1 DWPD

High-capacity Gen4 NVMe built for read-intensive cloud and hyperscale storage.

The KIOXIA CD8-R 15.36TB is a 2.5-inch, 15mm U.2 PCIe Gen4 NVMe data center SSD rated for 1 drive write per day. With power-loss protection, end-to-end data correction and a 2.5-million-hour MTTF, it delivers high-capacity, read-intensive flash for cloud, hyperscale, AI and content delivery servers.

High-Density NVMe for Cloud and AI Data

Cloud platforms, AI data pipelines and content services store massive datasets that are read constantly. Hard-drive tiers struggle to keep up, and lower-capacity SSDs require more bays and servers.

The CD8-R packs 15.36TB of Gen4 NVMe flash into a single 2.5-inch drive, combining high density with consistent read performance and enterprise data protection.

Read-Intensive Gen4 Performance

PCIe Gen4 NVMe throughput accelerates content delivery, AI training data loading and analytics while maintaining consistent latency.

Data Center Reliability

Power-loss protection, end-to-end data correction and a 2.5-million-hour MTTF support continuous 24/7 operation. The SIE model supports Crypto Erase for secure decommissioning.
