Kioxia CD8P 3.84TB Read Intensive NVMe PCIe Gen5 SFF Solid State Drive

With 3.84TB per drive, the Kioxia CD8P KCD81PUG3T84 gives a read-oriented server a sensible block of flash. The interface is NVMe on PCIe 5.0 x4, the form factor is 2.5-inch SFF, and the endurance class is Read Intensive at 1 DWPD.

This size works well in scale-out nodes: enough capacity to hold a meaningful slice of data, yet small enough to buy by the dozen and spread across a cluster. Because each drive uses four PCIe 5.0 lanes, a node with several of them has a lot of aggregate bandwidth available.

Workloads with heavy rewriting are better matched to a Mixed Use class, since this one is rated at 1 DWPD. You can choose between new, refurbished and used condition. Warranty on new and refurbished units is 1 year or 3 years; used units are listed with 90 days.
