Cisco UCSX-SD480G6I1XEV= 480 GB 2.5 in SATA SSD | Enterprise Storage — UCSX-SD480G6I1XEV=

Improve responsiveness where it matters most: boot drives, virtualization hosts, and application tiers that need consistent flash performance without adding storage complexity. This 480 GB Cisco-branded Intel SSD uses a 2.5-inch SATA interface, making it a straightforward fit for server platforms that support standard SATA bays and enterprise SSD deployment. For infrastructure teams balancing cost, capacity, and serviceability, this drive is a practical upgrade path from spinning media. It helps reduce latency on frequently accessed workloads, shortens restart and provisioning windows, and supports cleaner storage tiering in mixed environments. The 480 GB capacity is well suited to operating systems, hypervisor installs, and light-to-moderate application data where predictable access matters more than raw bulk storage. Because it is built for Cisco UCS usage, it aligns with enterprise procurement standards and platform compatibility expectations. That makes it a better fit than generic desktop-class SSDs when uptime, qualification, and lifecycle consistency are part of the buying decision. Ideal For Boot volume for Cisco UCS servers Hypervisor datastore for small virtualization clusters Application tier storage for latency-sensitive workloads Replacement for aging SATA hard drives in server bays Why This Product 1 Faster response than 7,200 RPM hard drives 2 Simpler deployment than NVMe-only storage options 3 Better fit for boot and OS volumes than bulk HDDs 4 Cisco UCS-oriented qualification versus generic desktop SSDs
