C9K-F1-SSD-480G Description
The C9K-F1-SSD-480G is a Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series High Performance pluggable SATA SSD module for adding switch-local storage to supported Catalyst 9500 models. It provides 480 GB of SSD capacity in the C9K-F1 storage family, is listed for C9500-32C, C9500-32QC, C9500-48Y4C, and C9500-24Y4C switches, and presents as disk0: storage for application hosting, packet captures, trace logs, and IOS XE file operations. The module uses EXT4 as the default SATA file system while supporting EXT2 and EXT3, with S.M.A.R.T. health monitoring available when the SATA device is detected.

Application Scenarios
Use C9K-F1-SSD-480G for the 480GB storage line on supported Catalyst 9500 High Performance models, including C9500-24Y4C, C9500-48Y4C, C9500-32QC, and C9500-32C.
Select this module when the engineering plan needs disk0: space for application hosting, packet capture output, trace logs, or normal IOS XE file operations on the switch.
For spare planning, keep the 480GB SKU explicit so replacement stock matches the installed C9K-F1 capacity instead of drifting to the smaller 240GB or larger 960GB part.

- In a C9K-F1-SSD-480G vs C9K-F1-SSD-240G comparison, the confirmed difference is capacity: 480GB for the current SKU and 240GB for the smaller C9K-F1 SSD option.
- In a C9K-F1-SSD-480G vs C9K-F1-SSD-960G comparison, the choice is a 480GB versus 960GB storage decision within the same Cisco-listed C9K-F1 accessory group.
- The C9K-F1-SSD-480G difference from both adjacent models is capacity, while the supported Catalyst 9500 High Performance model matrix stays the same for all three C9K-F1 SSD SKUs.
- For buyers deciding which model to choose, match expected disk0 storage use to 240GB, 480GB, or 960GB and keep C9K-F1 SSDs separate from Catalyst 9500X C9K-F3 storage options.
Selection Guide
1. Match the order to the 480GB storage need
Use C9K-F1-SSD-480G when the BOM calls for Cisco’s 480GB SATA SSD capacity in a supported Catalyst 9500 High Performance switch.
2. Keep the switch model inside the supported matrix
Check the switch model before approving the SSD line. C9500-24Y4C, C9500-48Y4C, C9500-32QC, and C9500-32C are the supported C9K-F1 entries; C9500-16X and Catalyst 9500X should not be handled as the same storage path.
3. Compare capacity before finalizing the quote line
Move to C9K-F1-SSD-240G only for a smaller disk target, or to C9K-F1-SSD-960G when the same accessory role needs the largest listed C9K-F1 capacity.
4. Plan disk0 service handling
Treat disk0: as a service item during replacement planning. File copy, delete, format, and safe removal steps should be settled before the switch is touched.
