Enterprise SSD Capacity
The Kioxia CD8-R Series drive provides 15.36 TB of TLC flash storage in a 2.5in form factor. It connects through a PCI Express 4.0 x4 NVMe interface for internal server or workstation deployment. Self-encrypting drive technology helps meet data-security requirements.
Sustained Write Endurance
Sequential writes reach 6000 MB/s while random 4 KB writes deliver 195,000 IOPS under continuous load. The drive is rated for one full drive write per day across its service life. Mean time between failures is specified at 2,500,000 hours.
2.5in U.2 Build
The 2.5in chassis fits standard U.2 hot-swap bays and backplanes without adapters. A single drive occupies one bay, simplifying capacity scaling in dense arrays. Self-encryption operates transparently with compatible controllers.
