Cisco UCSX-SD800GK3X-EP= 800GB 12G SAS SSD | Enterprise 2.5 in Storage — UCSX-SD800GK3X-EP=

Move latency-sensitive workloads onto enterprise flash designed for Cisco environments. This 800 GB 2.5-inch SAS SSD uses a 12G SAS interface to deliver the responsiveness and consistency expected in server storage tiers where mechanical drives fall short. Its compact 2.5-inch form factor helps preserve drive-bay density, making it a strong fit for virtualization hosts, database tiers, boot volumes, and mixed application stacks that need faster access to active data. Compared with lower-cost SATA options, SAS flash is typically chosen when the storage layer must support higher operational demands and tighter integration with enterprise infrastructure. The KIOXIA G1 designation and Cisco part numbering point to a drive intended for qualified deployment in Cisco systems, where compatibility and lifecycle consistency matter as much as raw capacity. For teams buying at scale, this model helps justify the premium with better responsiveness, stronger consolidation potential, and a storage tier built for sustained enterprise use.
