EDSFF SSD: Kioxia CD8P-V Offers High-Speed Data Center Performance
EDSFF (Enterprise and Data Center Storage Form Factor) is emerging as a popular choice for modern, insertable SSDs tailored to data center requirements. This article explores and tests an EDSFF SSD, the Kioxia CD8P-V, highlighting its features and performance.
U.2 SSDs, which use four PCIe lanes, can achieve impressive read speeds exceeding 14 Gb/s. The Kioxia CD8P-V, an EDSFF SSD, offers a compelling alternative to traditional 2.5-inch SSDs that rely on SATA or SAS connectors.
SAS and U.2 SSDs benefit from hot-swappable backplanes, allowing them to be replaced while the system is operational. This convenience, coupled with SAS's higher speeds and superior SSD management, makes these options attractive for data centers.
The Kioxia CD8P-V, an EDSFF SSD, demonstrates the potential of this form factor in data center environments. With its high-speed performance and hot-swappable capabilities, it offers a competitive solution alongside SAS and U.2 SSDs.
