Kioxia CD8-R 3.84TB NVMe drive
The Kioxia CD8-R is a 3.84TB solid-state drive using a PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe interface in a 2.5-inch form factor. It is built for read-intensive workloads in servers and storage arrays that need consistent throughput. The drive suits IT teams expanding capacity in existing 2.5-inch bays without changing backplane infrastructure.
Sequential 7200 MB/s read and 3800 MB/s write
Sequential reads reach 7200 MB/s while sequential writes sustain 3800 MB/s, giving strong headroom for large dataset ingest and logging. Random performance delivers up to 1,250,000 read IOPS and 195,000 write IOPS at 4KB, so mixed OLTP and analytics jobs stay responsive. Write-heavy, sustained workloads will saturate the write ceiling sooner than read-dominated ones.
2.5-inch U.2 connector for hot-swap bays
The 2.5-inch chassis uses a U.2 connector that fits standard hot-swap drive carriers in rackmount enclosures. This lets administrators replace or add drives without powering down the system. The single-port NVMe link means no dual-port redundancy, so the drive is not suited for multipath high-availability configurations that require a second path.

Questions about this item
Will the 3.84TB CD8-R work in a server that only has PCIe 3.0 slots?
The drive uses a PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe interface and will operate at PCIe 3.0 speeds when installed in a PCIe 3.0 slot, providing up to 3.84TB of capacity.
How can I verify the drive is delivering its rated 7200 MB/s read and 3800 MB/s write performance after installation?
Run a standard NVMe benchmark tool such as CrystalDiskMark or fio with a 4 KB random workload; you should see sequential reads near 7200 MB/s, writes near 3800 MB/s, and up to 1250000 IOPS read / 195000 IOPS write.
Does the 2.5-inch CD8-R ship with a mounting bracket or power cable, or must I source them separately?
The product is supplied as the bare 2.5-inch U.2 SSD only; any 2.5-inch drive bay adapter, U.2-to-PCIe cable, or backplane sled required for your chassis must be purchased separately.
