Read Intensive SSD
KIOXIA CD6-R Series is a read intensive data center NVMe™ SSD that is optimized to support a
broad range of scale-out and cloud applications, including big data/IoT, online transaction pro-
cessing, and virtualization. Built with a PCIe
®
Gen4 x4 interface, the CD6-R Series SSDs deliver
consistent performance up to 1M IOPS (random read) and 85K IOPS (random write), with active
power consumption of 13-19 W.
Featuring KIOXIA Corporations 96-layer BiCS FLASH™ 3D TLC memory, the CD6-R SSDs deliver
1 DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day) of endurance and storage capacities up to 15.36 TB in a 2.5-inch
form factor, making them well-suited for hyperscale data center applications.

Specications (Continued)
Denition of capacity: KIOXIA Corporation denes a megabyte (MB) as 1,000,000 bytes, a gigabyte (GB) as 1,000,000,000 bytes and a terabyte (TB) as 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. A computer operating
system, however, reports storage capacity using powers of 2 for the denition of 1 GB = 2^30 = 1,073,741,824 bytes and therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity (including
examples of various media les) will vary based on le size, formatting, settings, software and operating system, and/or pre-installed software applications, or media content. Actual formatted capacity
may vary.
GT/s: Giga Transfers per second.
A kibibyte (KiB) means 2^10, or 1,024 bytes.
MTTF (Mean Time to Failure) is not a guarantee or estimate of product life; it is a statistical value related to mean failure rates for a large number of products which may not accurately reect actual
operation. Actual operating life of the product may be dierent from the MTTF.
DWPD: Drive Writes Per Day. One full drive write per day means the drive can be written and re-written to full capacity once a day every day for the specied lifetime. Actual results may vary due to
system conguration, usage and other factors.
Read and write speed may vary depending on various factors such as host devices, software (drivers, OS etc.), and read/write conditions.
IOPS: Input Output Per Second (or the number of I/O operations per second)
[1] Sanitize Instant Erase (SIE), Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) and FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) SED security optional models are available.
[2] SIE optional model supports Crypto Erase, which is a standardized feature dened by the technical committees (T10) of INCITS (the InterNational Committee for Information Technology Standards).
[3] SED optional model supports TCG Opal and Ruby SSCs. It has a few unsupported features of TCG Opal SSC. For more details, please make inquiries through “Contact us” in each regions website,
https://www.kioxia.com/.
[4] FIPS SED optional model utilizes a security module designed to comply with FIPS 140-2 and FIPS 140-3, which dene security requirements for cryptographic module by NIST (National Institute
of Standards and Technology). For the latest validation status, please make inquiries through “Contact us” in each regions website, https://www.kioxia.com/.
[5] Security optional models are not available in all countries due to export and local regulations.
