The KIOXIA CD8P-R Series KCD8DPJE7T68 is a 7.68 TB (7,680 GB) read-intensive data center NVMe SSD in the E3.S form factor. It has a PCIe 5.0 (x4) interface, is NVMe 2.0 compliant, and uses KIOXIA BiCS FLASH generation 5 TLC flash memory with KIOXIA's own controller and firmware. It is rated for 1 DWPD (drive write per day) and carries a 5-year warranty.

The single-port design includes power loss protection and end-to-end data correction, and is built for consistent performance in 24x7 data center environments. KIOXIA rates this 7.68 TB model at up to 12,000 MB/s sustained sequential read (128 KiB) and 5,500 MB/s sequential write, with up to 2,000K IOPS sustained 4 KiB random read and 200K IOPS random write.

This part number is the self-encrypting drive (SED) model. KIOXIA states that the SED option supports TCG Opal and Ruby SSCs, with a few unsupported features of TCG Opal SSC, and that security option models are not available in all countries due to export and local regulations.

Key applications: Hyperscale; IoT and big data analytics; Online transaction processing (transactional and relational databases); Virtualized environments; Streaming media and content delivery networks.
