C9610-SSD-960G-V1 Description
C9610-SSD-960G-V1 is a Cisco C9610 Series Smart Switches 960GB SATA SSD module for supervisor-local storage in the C9610 platform. It fits the C9610 supervisor engine SATA SSD role for local file capacity used by packet collection, analysis files, monitoring data, test images, and application-hosting storage. Cisco confirms the 960GB capacity for this PID, support on C9610 supervisor engine modules, field-replaceable SATA SSD module handling with hot-swap status/eject removal, EXT4 default formatting with EXT2 and EXT3 support, and file operations such as read, write, delete, copy, and format from IOS XE storage commands.

Application Scenarios
Choose C9610-SSD-960G-V1 when the storage estimate points to Cisco’s 960GB C9610 SATA SSD rather than the lower-capacity 480GB part.
Use the module for data that needs to remain on the supervisor, such as captured packets, analysis material, monitoring files, test images, or application-hosting storage handled through IOS XE file commands.
Keep the 960GB SSD visible as its own procurement line when stocking replacement modules or matching storage capacity across active and standby supervisors.

- C9610-SSD-960G-V1: The 960GB SSD is the capacity-first choice when local storage headroom matters more than minimizing the storage line cost.
- The 480GB SSD remains the closest comparison point because Cisco lists it in the same C9610 SATA SSD group with the same platform role and a smaller capacity.
- Treat the decision as a disk-sizing decision; neither SSD changes port density, forwarding scale, route scale, power draw planning, fan selection, or subscription entitlement.
- When requesting technical fit and order, specify capacity, quantity, supervisor pairing, and deployment destination so the storage order line does not get merged into unrelated hardware or license lines. Related comparison SKUs: C9610-SSD-480G-V1. C9400-SSD-960GB is included as an additional same-family comparison point.
Selection Guide
1. Start with the required disk capacity
Use C9610-SSD-960G-V1 when the design target is Cisco’s 960GB SSD option for C9610 supervisor storage.
2. Check redundant supervisor consistency
For redundant supervisor deployments, confirm whether both supervisors should be ordered with matching SSD capacity before the BOM is approved.
3. Do not treat it as a performance SKU
This part supplies local SATA SSD space. Switching bandwidth, port count, line-card choice, power budget, airflow, and license tier must be validated through their own C9610 components.
4. Confirm maintenance handling before shipment
Cisco documents EXT4 as the default format and provides an SSD status/eject process for removal, so include file access and maintenance timing in the engineering review.

Confirms the SSD belongs to the C9610 storage path |
|
Supervisor Context |
Cisco C9610 supervisor engine modules |
Keeps the order aligned with supervisor-local storage rather than line-card expansion |
|
Capacity Requirement |
960GB selected instead of 480GB |
Matches storage sizing to packet collection, monitoring, test files, or hosted-application needs |
|
File System Plan |
EXT4 default with EXT2, EXT3, and EXT4 support |
Avoids installing or formatting the SSD with an unsupported file-system plan |
|
Service Procedure |
SSD status/eject procedure before removal |
Helps protect stored files during maintenance or replacement |
