C9K-F1-SSD-240G Description
C9K-F1-SSD-240G is a Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series High Performance pluggable 240GB SATA SSD module for adding switch-local storage to supported Catalyst 9500 High Performance platforms. It is a field-replaceable SATA SSD option for C9500-32C, C9500-32QC, C9500-48Y4C, and C9500-24Y4C switches, while the existing compatibility matrix excludes C9500-16X. In Cisco IOS XE storage use, the module is mounted as disk0: for application hosting, packet captures, trace logs, and local file operations, with EXT2, EXT3, and EXT4 file systems supported and EXT4 used as the default format. The SKU belongs to the C9K-F1 SATA SSD capacity set that also includes 480GB and 960GB options, and the platform can report S.M.A.R.T health monitoring when the SATA device is detected.

Application Scenarios
C9K-F1-SSD-240G fits a Catalyst 9500 High Performance bill of materials when the switch model is one of the Cisco-listed C9500-32C, C9500-32QC, C9500-48Y4C, or C9500-24Y4C platforms and the required SSD capacity is 240GB.
The module supports storage plans that use disk0: for application hosting, software-generated packet captures, trace logs, and IOS XE file operations that need switch-local storage.
Procurement teams can keep C9K-F1-SSD-240G separate from the 480GB and 960GB C9K-F1 SSD options when the service plan needs a like-capacity replacement or a spare with the smaller listed capacity.

- In a C9K-F1-SSD-240G vs C9K-F1-SSD-480G comparison, the confirmed difference is storage capacity: 240GB for the current SKU and 480GB for the adjacent C9K-F1 option.
- In a C9K-F1-SSD-240G vs C9K-F1-SSD-960G comparison, the buyer should treat the choice as a 240GB versus 960GB storage decision, not as a switch-performance or license-tier difference.
- The C9K-F1-SSD-240G difference from both larger C9K-F1 SSD SKUs is capacity; all three share the same Cisco-listed Catalyst 9500 High Performance accessory matrix.
- For buyers deciding which model to choose among these C9K-F1 options, match expected local storage to 240GB, 480GB, or 960GB while keeping the same supported Catalyst 9500 High Performance model list.
Selection Guide
1. Select it for a 240GB C9K-F1 storage requirement
Choose C9K-F1-SSD-240G when the bill of materials requires the Cisco-listed 240GB SATA SSD capacity for supported Catalyst 9500 High Performance switches.
2. Keep the target platform inside the C9K-F1 matrix
Match this SKU to C9500-32C, C9500-32QC, C9500-48Y4C, or C9500-24Y4C. Do not use it as a C9500-16X or Catalyst 9500X storage substitute.
3. Compare capacity before approving the quote line
Select C9K-F1-SSD-480G or C9K-F1-SSD-960G only when the same C9K-F1 storage role needs more local capacity for application hosting, packet captures, or trace logs.
4. Plan disk0 handling before replacement
Confirm whether files on disk0: must be copied, deleted, or formatted before service work. The supported file-system path and safe removal workflow matter when the SSD is already in use.
Ordering Checklist

Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Exact SKU |
C9K-F1-SSD-240G |
Prevents substitution with the 480GB or 960GB C9K-F1 SSD module |
|
Target switch model |
C9500-32C, C9500-32QC, C9500-48Y4C, or C9500-24Y4C |
Keeps the SSD inside the Cisco-listed Catalyst 9500 High Performance accessory matrix |
|
Platform exclusion |
C9500-16X is not supported in the C9K-F1 SSD matrix |
Avoids ordering this SSD for a base C9500 model that Cisco marks as unsupported |
|
Catalyst 9500X check |
Catalyst 9500X models use the C9K-F3 SSD storage family |
Avoids mixing F1 and F3 SSD storage lines |
|
File handling |
disk0: data backup, copy, delete, or format plan |
Reduces service risk during SSD replacement or preparation |
