KCD61VUL3T20 Kioxia CD6-V 3.2TB U.3 NVMe 2.5" Server SSD

High-Performance 2.5" U.3 NVMe Datacenter SSD featuring mixed-use endurance with the KCD61VUL3T20

KCD61VUL3T20 is a Kioxia CD6-V 2.5" U.3 NVMe SSD designed for enterprise nodes that require consistent latency under mixed read/write pressure. Built on NVMe 1.4, it integrates cleanly into modern server and storage backplanes while enabling straightforward serviceability and predictable performance scaling across dense deployments.

The KCD61VUL3T20 leverages 3D TLC (96-layer) NAND to balance high random read capability with sustained write tolerance, aligning with boot, cache, and primary datastore roles. Its PCIe-based NVMe path removes legacy protocol overhead for VM-heavy platforms, while U.3 tri-mode compatibility supports flexible chassis planning. Power Loss Protection and end-to-end data protection strengthen write-path integrity for metadata, journaling, and log-centric workflows, and SED with FIPS 140-2 enables policy-driven encryption without external key-management complexity.

Why Choose the KCD61VUL3T20?

KCD61VUL3T20 delivers a practical density-to-performance ratio for mixed-use tiers where high IOPS and controlled endurance must coexist. With 3 DWPD over 5 years and 2.5M hours MTBF/MTTF, it supports scale-out virtualization and analytics clusters that demand repeatable behavior across many drives and predictable lifecycle planning in enterprise refresh cycles.

Kioxia designs enterprise SSDs with a focus on controller-level data integrity, power-fail resilience, and firmware stability to meet data centre operational standards. The KCD61VUL3T20 reflects this approach through robust protection mechanisms and security features engineered for compliance-oriented environments.

Key Applications:

• Virtualization datastores and VM log volumes
• Database and analytics hot data
• Workstation boot and cache tiers
• High-IOPS primary or secondary NVMe storage
