About the Kioxia CD8-R 960GB 2.5 Inch PCIe Gen4 x4 SSD
The Kioxia CD8-R 960GB delivers sequential read speeds up to 6,900 MB/s, making it a high-performance choice for demanding enterprise workloads. This 2.5-inch U.2 (SFF-8639) drive connects via PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe 1.4 interface, offering the bandwidth and protocol support required in modern data centers.
Built on Kioxia BiCS FLASH 3D TLC NAND, the CD8-R (part number KCD8XRUG960G) achieves sequential write speeds up to 1,700 MB/s and random read performance of up to 1,000,000 IOPS at 4K QD256, alongside random write capability of up to 180,000 IOPS. The drive includes end-to-end data path protection with T10 PI compatibility and supercapacitor-backed power-loss protection—critical features for environments where data integrity cannot be compromised. With an endurance rating of 1,752 TBW and a 1 DWPD (5-year basis) specification, this SSD is engineered for sustained enterprise operations. Active power consumption sits at approximately 8 W, while idle draw is approximately 5 W, supporting efficient thermal management in dense server environments. Operating temperature range spans 0°C to 70°C, and the drive measures 100.45 mm × 69.85 mm × 15.00 mm, weighing approximately 115 g.
Storage architects and IT procurement teams evaluating mixed-use workloads—databases, virtualization platforms, and transactional systems—will recognize the CD8-R as a compelling balance of speed, capacity, and reliability. Kioxia's enterprise-grade build quality and the 960 GB capacity in a compact 2.5-inch form factor reduce deployment complexity in SFF-8639 slots.
