12.8TB U.3 Enterprise SSD

The Kioxia CD8P-V KCD8XPUG12T8 is a 12.8TB 2.5" U.3 enterprise solid-state drive built for PCI-Express 5.0 x4 servers. It delivers sustained sequential reads of 12000 MB/s and writes of 5500 MB/s with 3 DWPD endurance and a 2,500,000-hour MTBF. Features include Power Loss Protection and SIE Security for data integrity.

Suits PCIe 5.0 NVMe storage arrays

This drive fits servers and storage arrays that accept a 2.5" U.3 form factor and can utilise PCI-Express 5.0 x4 bandwidth for high-throughput workloads. Buyers whose systems only support earlier PCIe generations or different physical connectors will not be able to install or fully utilise this SSD.

PCI-Express 5.0 x4 interface

The single specification that determines compatibility is the PCI-Express 5.0 x4 interface combined with the 2.5" U.3 form factor. The host system must provide a U.3 backplane or cable connection wired for four lanes of PCIe 5.0 to achieve the rated 12000 MB/s read performance.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 12.8TB CD8P-V draw under sustained 12000 MB/s reads?

The drive is rated for sustained sequential reads of 12000 MB/s and writes of 5500 MB/s, with power-loss protection to safeguard data during unexpected outages.

Does my server need a U.3 backplane and PCIe 5.0 x4 slot to run this Kioxia SSD?

It requires a 2.5 inch U.3 bay with a PCI-Express 5.0 x4 connection; the 15 mm height fits standard enterprise drive cages.

Will this PCIe 5.0 NVMe drive work in my older PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 server slots?

The SSD uses a PCI-Express 5.0 x4 interface and will negotiate down to PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 speeds if the host slot is an older generation.
