Kioxia KCM6XRUL3T84 3.84TB 2.5" enterprise SSD

Kioxia CM6-R 3.84TB NVMe SSD

The Kioxia CM6-R KCM6XRUL3T84 is a 3.84TB enterprise solid-state drive built for read-intensive server workloads. It uses a 2.5-inch form factor with a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface and 3D TLC NAND. Sequential reads reach up to 6900 MBps while sequential writes reach up to 4200 MBps. Endurance is rated at 1 DWPD.

Suited for read-heavy arrays.

This drive suits storage arrays, content delivery nodes and virtualisation hosts where read throughput and random read IOPS up to 1,400,000 matter most. Buyers who need higher write endurance for database logging or heavy OLTP should look at drives with a higher DWPD rating. The 15mm z-height also rules out slim 7mm bays.

Verify 2.5-inch U.2 or U.3 slot and 19W power budget

Confirm your backplane or riser accepts a 15mm 2.5-inch drive with a PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe 1.4 connection. The active power draw is 19W, so the slot and power distribution must support that load. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 70°C; ensure chassis airflow meets this limit.
