KCD61LUL7T68 Kioxia CD6-R 7.68TB U.3 NVMe 2.5" Server SSD

High-Performance 2.5-inch U.3 NVMe Datacenter SSD for Read-Intensive Tiering with the KCD61LUL7T68

KCD61LUL7T68 is a 7.68TB 2.5-inch U.3 NVMe 1.4 SSD engineered for modern server and storage platforms that require predictable latency and high random read throughput. Connected via PCIe for streamlined host access and parallel queueing, KCD61LUL7T68 targets environments where read-dominant IOPS and steady bandwidth are more critical than sustained write rate.

Built on 3D TLC NAND and tuned for read-intensive profiles, KCD61LUL7T68 delivers up to 6,200 MB/s sequential read and up to 1,000,000 4K random read IOPS to accelerate boot volumes, caching layers, and dense VM datastore pools. Its 1 DWPD endurance over 5 years supports consistent operational cycles for general-purpose virtualization and analytics tiers, while U.3 backplane compatibility simplifies mixed-protocol bay designs and serviceability in 2.5-inch server chassis.

Why Choose the KCD61LUL7T68?

KCD61LUL7T68 provides a strong density-to-performance ratio for read-heavy tiers, consolidating capacity without increasing drive count or PCIe slot pressure. With enterprise reliability features and predictable endurance, KCD61LUL7T68 scales cleanly from single-node deployments to clustered storage, enabling standardized NVMe baselines across compute and hyperconverged infrastructure.

Kioxia designs the CD6-R family with a data-centre engineering focus on sustained quality, controllable latency, and robust protection mechanisms. The platform aligns with contemporary NVMe server standards and supports operational resilience through integrated safeguards suitable for 24/7 environments.
