This KCM61RUL15T3 Kioxia 15.36TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD

The KCM61RUL15T3 Kioxia CM6-R Series 15.36TB TLC PCI Express 4.0 x4 NVMe RI U.3 2.5-inch Solid State Drive is a high-performance enterprise-grade SSD designed to deliver exceptional speed, reliability, and endurance for data-intensive environments. As part of Kioxia’s advanced CM6-R series, this SSD is optimized for read-intensive workloads in data centers, cloud computing, and enterprise server systems. With its massive 15.36TB storage capacity and PCIe 4.0 x4 interface, it ensures smooth and efficient data processing while meeting the needs of modern IT infrastructure.

Enhanced Data Performance and Reliability

Built using advanced Triple-Level Cell (TLC) NAND flash memory, the CM6-R Series combines high-density data storage with long-term endurance. The PCIe 4.0 x4 interface ensures faster sequential and random read speeds, doubling the bandwidth compared to PCIe 3.0. This means quicker access to mission-critical data and smoother multitasking in complex server operations. The SSD also incorporates NVMe 1.4 protocol support, which optimizes communication between the host system and the SSD, minimizing overhead and maximizing throughput efficiency.

Superior Endurance for Read-Intensive Workloads

The “R” in CM6-R stands for Read-Intensive, making this drive an ideal choice for environments that involve frequent data reads with moderate write operations. The drive is engineered to deliver high endurance ratings, typically supporting up to 1 drive write per day (DWPD), depending on workload conditions. This endurance ensures years of reliable service in environments like media streaming servers, data warehouses, and e-commerce platforms.

Optimized for PCI Express 4.0 x4 Interface

The Kioxia KCM61RUL15T3 leverages the full capabilities of the PCI Express 4.0 x4 interface, which provides twice the bandwidth of PCIe 3.0. This upgrade allows for exceptional data transfer speeds, ensuring that servers and data centers can handle large datasets, multiple virtual machines, and intensive data retrieval operations without bottlenecks. PCIe 4.0 also enhances power efficiency and reduces latency, enabling faster response times in enterprise-level applications such as database querying, search indexing, and virtualization management.

U.3 Interface Compatibility for Maximum Flexibility

The U.3 interface offers backward compatibility with U.2 connectors, allowing data centers to upgrade from older platforms without replacing the entire infrastructure. This flexibility ensures that enterprises can transition to NVMe storage at their own pace while maintaining compatibility with existing SAS and SATA systems. The U.3 interface design simplifies the deployment process and enhances thermal efficiency in multi-drive server configurations.

Advanced Data Protection and Security Features

The KCM61RUL15T3 CM6-R Series SSD includes a suite of advanced data protection technologies to ensure data integrity and system reliability. Features such as end-to-end data path protection, power-loss protection, and error correction code (ECC) mechanisms safeguard data during read and write operations. This minimizes the risk of data corruption and maintains consistent performance under heavy workloads. Additionally, the drive supports Secure Erase and Sanitize commands for complete data removal when decommissioning or repurposing the drive.
