SSD - ThinkSystem 2.5" U.2 CD8P 6.4TB Mixed Use NVMe Pci-e 5.0 x4 HS

The ThinkSystem CD8P Mixed Use NVMe PCIe 5.0 SSDs, available in capacities up to 12.8TB, are general-purpose yet high-performance NVMe PCIe Gen 5 SSDs. Available in the 2.5-inch form factor, they are engineered for greater performance and endurance in a cost-effective design, and to support a broader set of workloads. Now with SED encryption as standard, these drives help ensure data security, even when the drive is removed from the server.

This product guide provides essential presales information to understand the CD8P SSDs and their key features, specifications, and compatibility. This guide is intended for technical specialists, sales specialists, sales engineers, IT architects, and other IT professionals who want to learn more about the SSDs and consider their use in IT solutions.

Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) is PCIe high performance SSD technology that provides high I/O throughput and low latency. NVMe interfaces remove SAS/SATA bottlenecks and unleash all of the capabilities of contemporary NAND flash memory. Each of the CD8P SSDs have direct PCIe 5.0 x4 connection, which provides at significantly greater bandwidth and lower latency than SATA/SAS-based SSD solutions. NVMe drives are also optimized for heavy multi-threaded workloads by using internal parallelism and many other improvements, such as enlarged I/O queues.
