Cisco UCSX-SD16TM1X-EV= 1.6TB 2.5in SATA SSD | Enterprise Storage — UCSX-SD16TM1X-EV=

Improve application responsiveness and storage efficiency with a 1.6 TB 2.5-inch SATA SSD designed for Cisco UCS platforms. Built on Micron G1 flash technology, this drive gives infrastructure teams a practical way to move hot data off slower mechanical storage without changing the server footprint. The 6 Gb/s SATA interface keeps deployment simple in environments where compatibility, capacity, and cost control matter more than raw NVMe throughput. That makes it a strong fit for boot volumes, virtualization layers, and general-purpose enterprise workloads that benefit from lower latency and consistent access times. For teams standardizing on Cisco hardware, this SSD offers a clean path to refresh aging drives while preserving familiar management and service workflows. It is a sensible choice when you need flash performance in a 2.5-inch bay and want to avoid overbuying capacity or interface speed you will not use. Ideal For Boot volumes for Cisco UCS servers Virtual machine datastores in mixed-workload environments Application acceleration for read-intensive enterprise services Storage refresh projects replacing legacy hard drives Why This Product 1 Faster than 7,200 RPM hard drives for boot and application workloads 2 Simpler to deploy than NVMe in SATA-only server bays 3 Better fit for value-focused refreshes than higher-cost performance SSDs 4 Compact 2.5 in design preserves drive bay density
