Product Overview
The Cisco 1.6TB Intel P5600 U.2 NVMe SSD is engineered to provide enterprise-grade storage performance. It leverages the NVMe interface via U.2 PCIe to offer significantly higher throughput and lower latency compared to legacy storage interfaces. With a 2.5-inch small form factor (SFF), this internal SSD is an ideal fit for modern server environments where space, efficiency, and performance are paramount.
Equipped with high performance and medium endurance capabilities, this SSD supports write-intensive workloads without compromising on speed. It is particularly suited for use in Cisco UCS C220, C225, C240, and C245 M6 server models and is backed by a 3-year limited warranty, affirming its longevity and support. Its Intel P5600 lineage ensures consistency and reliability across large-scale deployments, especially for read-heavy or mixed-use applications.
With a capacity of 1.6TB, organizations can expect fast boot times, swift data access, and improved system responsiveness. Its TAA compliance further assures suitability for regulated environments, while the product's origin in China or Taiwan underlines Cisco's global manufacturing footprint.
