C9K-F1-SSD-480G Description
The C9K-F1-SSD-480G is a Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series High Performance pluggable SATA SSD module for adding local storage to switches that run application hosting and packet capture. The module provides 480GB of capacity, mounts as disk0: with EXT4 as the default file system, and installs in the rear slot of the C9500-32C, C9500-32QC, C9500-48Y4C and C9500-24Y4C. The module is not supported on the C9500-16X, and it does not support non-EXT file systems, ROMMON boot or SATA firmware upgrades.

Application Scenarios
On a Catalyst 9500 High Performance core switch, the module gives the switch 480GB of disk0: space so packet captures and trace logs stay on the switch instead of an external server.
A data center or campus aggregation switch running KVM, Linux container or Docker workloads can keep application images and data on the module, which mounts as disk0: with EXT4 by default.

C9K-F1-SSD-480G is the 480GB model of the three C9K-F1 pluggable SATA SSDs, between C9K-F1-SSD-240G at 240GB and C9K-F1-SSD-960G at 960GB, and capacity is the only parameter that separates them. All three are listed for C9500-32C, C9500-32QC, C9500-48Y4C and C9500-24Y4C and none for C9500-16X, so the host decides whether any of them fits, not the capacity. Each mounts as disk0: with EXT4 as the default file system and is used for application hosting, packet captures and trace logs. A smaller disk target moves to C9K-F1-SSD-240G, and packet captures or hosted applications that outgrow 480GB move to C9K-F1-SSD-960G.
Ordering Checklist
- Catalyst 9500 hosts: Order for switches with a rear SATA SSD module slot, such as C9500-32QC, C9500-48Y4C and C9500-24Y4C. The datasheet describes the slot on these models, while C9500-16X is not listed with one.
