KCD61LUL960G Kioxia CD6-R 960GB U.3 NVMe 2.5" Server SSD

High-Performance 2.5-inch U.3 NVMe Datacenter SSD for Read-Intensive Tiers with the KCD61LUL960G

KCD61LUL960G is a Kioxia CD6-R Series 2.5-inch datacenter SSD designed for server boot, caching, and read-heavy application tiers where predictable latency and strong data integrity are mandatory. Built on 96-layer 3D TLC NAND and tuned for read-intensive endurance, it supports 1 DWPD over 5 years, aligning with dense deployments that prioritize uptime and consistent quality of service.

The KCD61LUL960G uses a U.3 NVMe interface compliant with NVMe 1.4 to integrate cleanly into modern U.3 backplanes and PCIe Gen4 storage topologies, enabling scalable parallelism across high-core-count CPU platforms. With throughput up to 5800 MB/s read and 700k 4K read IOPS, it accelerates metadata-heavy virtualization and database read paths, while controlled write behavior supports cache layers and boot volumes without overprovisioning complexity.

Why Choose the KCD61LUL960G?

The KCD61LUL960G delivers a pragmatic density-to-performance balance for enterprises standardizing on 2.5-inch U.3 NVMe bays, simplifying fleet design across servers and all-flash arrays. KCD61LUL960G also strengthens operational reliability through Power Loss Protection and End-to-End Data Protection, reducing risk during unexpected power events and maintaining integrity across the data path as capacity scales.

Kioxia engineers the CD6-R platform for datacenter duty cycles with enterprise qualification, hardware-based security, and consistent behavior under sustained load. The KCD61LUL960G supports Self-Encrypting Drive capabilities with hardware encryption, aligning with modern security baselines and operational controls in multi-tenant and regulated environments.
