KCD6XLUL960G Kioxia CD6-R 960GB PCIe Gen 4 2.5" Server SSD

High-Performance U.2 NVMe Enterprise SSD for read-intensive tiers with the KCD6XLUL960G

KCD6XLUL960G delivers a 2.5" U.2 PCIe Gen4 NVMe 1.4 storage endpoint engineered for predictable latency and sustained read throughput in modern dual-socket server platforms and dense NVMe backplanes. Built on 3D TLC NAND, it targets boot, application, and shared service volumes where fast reads and consistent QoS matter more than heavy write acceleration.

With a PCIe Gen4 interface, KCD6XLUL960G supports high queue-depth parallelism for virtualised hosts and cloud nodes, while aligning with standard U.2 cabling and hot-swap service models in enterprise chassis. The 960GB capacity is sized for OS images, hypervisor stacks, log/cache tiers, and general-purpose VM datastore placement, combining 24/7 duty-cycle operation with controlled endurance for read-intensive deployment profiles.

Why Choose the KCD6XLUL960G?

KCD6XLUL960G provides an efficient density-to-performance balance for scaling NVMe tiers across many servers without overprovisioning write endurance. Its architecture is suited to consistent fleet deployment, enabling uniform performance baselines, simplified qualification, and reliable operations in mixed workloads typical of virtualisation and cloud infrastructure.

Kioxia designs the CD6-R platform for enterprise reliability, integrating controller-level telemetry, robust firmware validation, and data-centre oriented features to support continuous service. The drive aligns with standardised NVMe management expectations while maintaining tight control over data integrity and operational resilience.

Key Applications:

• Virtualisation boot and application volumes
• Cloud infrastructure node storage
• Read-intensive NVMe caching tiers
• Log ingestion and search metadata
• General-purpose server storage (24/7)
