Overview
The KIOXIA CD8-V Series (KCD8XVUG12T8) is a mixed-use data center NVMe SSD built on KIOXIA's own controller, firmware and 112-layer BiCS FLASH 3D TLC. It is rated at 3 drive writes per day over five years, which places it in write-intensive territory rather than the read-caching tier.
This 12.8TB (12,800 GB) model delivers up to 6,600 MB/s of 128 KiB sequential read and up to 1,050K IOPS of 4 KiB random read. It is supplied in the SIE (Sanitize Instant Erase) security configuration; the alternative order code carrying the other security option is listed in the specifications.
Key Benefits
3 DWPD mixed-use endurance — five years of full-drive writes per day. Power-loss protection and end-to-end data correction for 24×7 operation. Optional TCG Opal SED or SIE cryptographic erase for regulated deployments — security models are not available in all countries.
Applications
OLTP and relational databases; virtualization and container hosts; big data/IoT analytics; write-heavy logging and journaling tiers; streaming media and content delivery.
