Cisco 15.3 TB KIOXIA PM7 24G SAS SSD | Enterprise Storage — UCSX-SD15TKA1XEVD

Consolidate more data into fewer bays without sacrificing responsiveness. This 15.3 TB Cisco SSD pairs a 2.5-inch form factor with a 24G SAS interface to support demanding enterprise storage tiers where predictable access and high density are essential. Built on the KIOXIA PM7 platform, it is suited for environments that need flash capacity at scale for virtualization, database storage, content repositories, and mixed read/write workloads. The SAS interface is a strong fit for infrastructure teams that value enterprise connectivity, broad compatibility, and controlled deployment in shared storage systems. At this capacity point, the value is not just raw space. It is the ability to reduce drive count, simplify array design, and keep performance headroom available as workloads grow. For Cisco environments standardizing on qualified components, this drive helps preserve consistency across storage nodes while supporting the operational discipline expected in production systems. Choose it when smaller consumer-class SSDs no longer make sense and lower-capacity enterprise drives would force unnecessary expansion. This model is built for teams that buy storage once, then expect it to hold up under sustained use. Ideal For Primary flash tier in Cisco storage arrays Capacity expansion for virtualized server clusters High-density storage for analytics and database workloads Replacement drive in enterprise SAN or shared storage systems Why This Product 1 Higher capacity than standard enterprise SSDs in the same 2.5-inch footprint 2 24G SAS connectivity for enterprise storage environments 3 Designed for Cisco-qualified deployments rather than generic retail use 4 Dense flash capacity helps reduce drive count and simplify array planning
