The CD8-R Series is a read-intensive data center NVMe SSD that is optimized to support a broad range of scale-out and cloud applications, including big data/IoT, online transaction processing, and virtualization. Built with a PCIe 4.0 (16 GT/s x4) interface, CD8-R Series SSDs deliver consistent performance up to 1,250K IOPS (random read) and 200K IOPS (random write).¦Featuring KIOXIA 112-layer BiCS FLASH 3D TLC flash memory, CD8-R 2.5-inch form factor SSDs deliver 1 DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day) of endurance and massive storage capacities in a 2.5-inch form factor, making them well-suited for hyperscale data center applications.
