The ThinkSystem U.3 CD6 Read Intensive NVMe solid-state drives (SSDs) in high capacities are advanced data center SSDs from Kioxia that are designed for scale out environments, where read performance, Quality of Service (QoS) and power efficiency are key metrics. The CD6 drives are targeted for general purpose server applications and scale-out environments. With a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface, they are designed for greater performance and endurance in a cost-effective design, and to support a broader set of workloads.
