Kioxia CD8P-V Mixed Use NVMe SSD, 6.4 TB, 2.5″, PCIe 5.0

Kioxia CD8P-V – high-capacity mixed-use storage

We recommend the Kioxia CD8P-V for server and workstation environments handling demanding mixed workloads. Its 6.4 TB capacity provides substantial storage in a 2.5-inch drive, while PCIe 5.0 NVMe supports a modern high-speed storage platform.

Key specifications at a glance

Built for varied server workloads

Mixed-use storage suits systems that handle a combination of read and write activity. The CD8P-V is intended for servers and workstations, including environments such as virtualisation, online transaction processing and data-intensive applications.

Its BiCS FLASH TLC memory provides the storage medium. Also, the drive supports random 4 KB reads at 2,000 IOPS and random 4 KB writes at 400 IOPS. These figures help set expectations for small, random operations rather than sequential transfer rates.

Endurance and data protection

A 3 DWPD rating means the drive is designed for a workload rated at three drive writes per day. This makes it relevant for systems with frequent writes, where endurance matters alongside capacity.

The drive includes hardware power-loss protection and end-to-end data protection. It is also shock resistant and vibration proof. Together, these features support use in demanding server and workstation settings.

Check your system before ordering

• Confirm your server or workstation supports a 2.5-inch PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD.
• Check that your system supports NVMe 2.0 storage.
• Confirm the drive’s 12 V operating voltage suits your system.
• Check your system’s power provision for up to 21 W consumption.
