Enterprise NVMe™ SCM SSD

KIOXIA FL6 Series is a dual-port PCIe® 4.0 / NVMe™ SSD providing excellent system performance with low latency for applications where response time is critical. It is ideal for enterprise and hyperscale data center applications, such as server caching, write logging, and read/write caching in tiered storage environments.

The FL6 Series features KIOXIA’s XL-FLASH storage class memory (SCM) which bridges the performance gap between DRAM and NAND flash memory. It offers 60 DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day) endurance and performance up to 1.5 M random read IOPS, 400 K random write IOPS, with 29 μs read latency and 8 μs write latency.

  • Definition of capacity: KIOXIA Corporation defines 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 definition of 1 GB = 2^30 = 1,073,741,824 bytes and therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity (including examples of various media files) will vary based on file 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 reflect actual operation. Actual operating life of the product may be different 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 specified lifetime. Actual results may vary due to system configuration, 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 defined by the technical committees (SCSI) 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”.
  • [4] FIPS SED optional model utilizes a security module designed to comply with FIPS 140-2 and FIPS 140-3, which define security requirements for cryptographic module by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology). For the latest validation status, please make inquiries through “Contact us”.
  • [5] Security optional models are not available in all countries due to export and local regulations.
