Kioxia CD8P-R 7.68TB Enterprise NVMe SSD (KCD8XPUG7T68) – PCIe 5.0 x4 NVMe, Up to 12,000 MB/s, 2.5″ U.2 (15mm) (Used)

The Kioxia CD8P-R 7.68TB (KCD8XPUG7T68) is a 2.5″ U.2 (15mm) enterprise NVMe SSD with PCIe 5.0 x4 NVMe connectivity and up to 12,000 MB/s read and 5,500 MB/s write. It is built for servers, storage arrays and virtualized workloads where consistent latency and data protection matter.

Enterprise flash built for 24/7 workloads.

Why Servers Need Enterprise SSDs, Not Client Drives

Client SSDs are tuned for short bursts of activity. Under sustained server load their performance can drop sharply, and without power-loss protection a sudden outage can corrupt data still held in the drive’s cache.

The Kioxia CD8P-R 7.68TB is designed for continuous enterprise duty with firmware tuned for consistent latency, power-loss protection and an endurance rating suited to read-intensive (1 DWPD) workloads.

Predictable Performance Under Load

PCIe 5.0 x4 NVMe connectivity and enterprise firmware keep latency steady for databases, VMs and file services. Sequential speed reaches up to 12,000 MB/s read and 5,500 MB/s write.

Built for Data Protection

Power-loss protection capacitors flush in-flight data to flash if power is lost, protecting array integrity.

Setup Instructions

How to Install the Kioxia CD8P-R 7.68TB

1. Check that your server, backplane or HBA supports this interface and form factor.
2. Install the SSD in the correct drive carrier.
3. Hot-insert it into the bay (if supported) and confirm detection in the controller or iDRAC/BMC.
4. Add it to a RAID set, storage pool or cache tier and enable health monitoring.
