CM6-R Series
(KCM61RUL/KCM6XRUL/KCM6DRUL/KCM6FRUL)
Enterprise NVMeTM Read-intensive SSD
The CM6-R series is a read-intensive SSD that is optimized to support a broad range of enterprise applications and associated workloads, including business intelligence, online transaction processing, and software dened storage and virtualization. Built on PCIe® 4.0 and
NVMeTM 1.4 technology, the CM6 Series SSDs deliver excellent performance up to 1.4M IOPS
(random read), with maximum power consumption of 25 W.
Featuring KIOXIA Corporation’s 96-layer BiCS FLASHTM 3D TLC memory, the CM6-R Series of
enterprise NVMeTM SSDs deliver 1 DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day) of endurance and support
storage capacities up to 30.72 TB*, making them ideally suited for read-intensive enterprise
applications.
* The model names and details of 15.36 TB and 30.72 TB models will be disclosed after July as available.

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.
GT/s: Giga Transfers per second.
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.
