Product Overview
The Cisco 375 GB Intel P4800 SSD in U.2 2.5-inch form factor is a hot-swappable NVMe-based solid-state drive engineered for use in Cisco UCS B200 M5 and B480 M5 Blade Servers, including various SmartPlay Select configurations. Utilizing Intel’s P4800 storage technology over a PCIe NVMe interface, the drive offers a combination of medium performance and enterprise-grade resilience, making it suitable for virtualized workloads and data center deployments where consistent latency and uptime are essential.
Its U.2 interface supports efficient data throughput while minimizing bottlenecks commonly found in traditional storage setups. The hot-swap capability enables non-disruptive servicing, maximizing system availability within critical applications. Designed for tight integration into Cisco hardware ecosystems, it ensures validated compatibility across a wide range of UCS M5 server variants. TAA compliance also makes it a viable option for government procurement and regulated industries.
Though optimized for medium performance, the SSD offers solid ROI by improving workload efficiency without the overhead of higher-performing, costlier solutions. With a balance of endurance, performance, and power efficiency, it's ideal for data-intensive enterprise applications like analytics engines, virtual machines, and software-defined storage frameworks, where space and performance are both at a premium.
