KCM61RUL15T3 Kioxia CM6-R 15.36TB U.3 NVMe 2.5" Server SSD

High-Density 2.5-inch U.3 Dual-Port NVMe Enterprise SSD for read-intensive tiers with the KCM61RUL15T3

KCM61RUL15T3 is a 15.36TB Kioxia CM6-R Series enterprise NVMe SSD engineered for modern server backplanes requiring 2.5-inch U.3 hot-swap compatibility and dual-port availability. Built on NVMe 1.4, KCM61RUL15T3 aligns with PCIe Gen4 storage fabrics to reduce latency and increase queue efficiency for mixed virtualised and analytics-heavy environments.

The TLC-based, read-intensive design of KCM61RUL15T3 targets high-capacity performance tiers where fast ingest and rapid data access must coexist. It delivers up to 6,900 MB/s sequential reads and 1,400,000 4K read IOPS, enabling dense node architectures to scale throughput without overprovisioning drive count. For write activity control, 4,000 MB/s sequential write and 170,000 4K write IOPS support metadata, indexing, and log streams while keeping predictable behavior across multi-tenant workloads. Enterprise protections such as End-to-End Data Protection and Power Loss Protection harden data paths for SDS cache/tier layers and database read replicas.

Why Choose the KCM61RUL15T3?

KCM61RUL15T3 provides a balanced density-to-performance profile for enterprise platforms that depend on dual-port paths, consistent latency, and serviceable front-bay deployments. With 1 DWPD endurance over 5 years and 2.5M hours MTBF/MTTF, KCM61RUL15T3 supports scalable storage pools where capacity growth, failover readiness, and operational continuity are primary design constraints.

Kioxia designs the CM6-R family with a focus on predictable NVMe behavior, robust firmware qualification, and alignment with data centre standards for availability, telemetry, and fleet consistency, enabling controlled rollout across clustered server and all-flash configurations.

Key Applications:

• NVMe all-flash arrays and SDS capacity tiers
• Read-IOPS database and analytics data layers
• Virtualisation and cloud storage pools
• High-density U.3 hot-swap server bays
