CD6-R Series
(KCD61LUL/KCD6XLUL/KCD6DLUL/KCD6FLUL)
Data Center NVMe™ Read-intensive SSD
The CD6-R Series is a read-intensive data center NVMeTM SSD that is optimized to support a
broad range of scale-out and cloud applications, including big data/IoT, online transaction
processing, and virtualization. Built on PCIe® 4.0 and NVMeTM 1.4 technology, the CD6-R
Series SSDs deliver consistent performance up to 1M IOPS (random read) and 85 KIOPS
(random write), with active power consumption of 13-19 W.
Featuring KIOXIA Corporation’s 96-layer BiCS FLASHTM 3D TLC memory, CD6-R SSDs deliver
1 DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day) of endurance and storage capacities up to 15.36 TB in a 2.5inch form factor, making them well-suited for hyperscale data center applications.

Denition of capacity: KIOXIA Corporation denes a megabyte (MB) as 1,000,000 bytes, a gigabyte (GB) as 1,000,000,000 bytes and a terabyte (TB) as 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. A computer operating
system, however, reports storage capacity using powers of 2 for the denition of 1GB = 2^30 = 1,073,741,824 bytes and therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity (including
examples of various media les) will vary based on le size, formatting, settings, software and operating system, such as Microsoft Operating System and/or pre-installed software applications, or
media content. Actual formatted capacity may vary.
A kibibyte (KiB) means 2^10, or 1,024 bytes.
MTTF (Mean Time to Failure) is not a guarantee or estimate of product life; it is a statistical value related to mean failure rates for a large number of products which may not accurately reect actual
operation. Actual operating life of the product may be dierent from the MTTF.
DWPD: Drive Write Per Day. One full drive write per day means the drive can be written and re-written to full capacity once a day every day for the specied lifetime. Actual results may vary due to
system conguration, usage and other factors.
Read and write speeds may vary depending on various factors such as host devices, software (drivers, OS etc.), and read/write conditions.
IOPS: Input Output Per Second (or the number of I/O operations per second)
[1] The Sanitize Instant Erase (SIE), Self-Encrypting Drive (SED), FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) optional models are available.
[2] SIE option supports Crypto Erase, which is a standardized feature dened by NVM Express Inc.
[3] SED supports TCG Opal and Ruby SSCs. It has a few unsupported TCG Opal features. For more details, please make inquiries through “Contact us” in each region’s website,https://business.

[4] FIPS drives are designed to comply with FIPS 140-2 Level 2, which dene security requirements for cryptographic module by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology). For the latest
validation status of each model, please contact us in each region’s website,https://business.kioxia.com/
[5] Optional security feature compliant drives are not available in all countries due to export and local regulations.
