Cisco 7.68TB NVMe PCIe 3.0 x8 HHHL SSD HGST Ultrastar SN260 16-101087-01 HUSMR7676BHP3Y1

This is a genuine Cisco HGST Ultrastar SN260 7.68TB PCIe Half-Height, Half-Length (HHHL) Solid State Drive (SSD) (Cisco P/N: UCSC-NVME-H768801, 16-101087-01 A0; HGST P/N: HUSMR7676BHP3Y1; other P/N: 54-90-60019-8192G, OTS1487). This enterprise-grade NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) SSD is engineered for extreme performance and reliability in demanding data center environments. Designed to fit into a standard PCIe slot, the HHHL form factor makes it compatible with a wide range of servers. With a massive 7.68 terabytes of storage capacity and utilizing the PCIe Gen3 x4 interface, the Ultrastar SN260 delivers incredibly high sequential and random read/write speeds, making it ideal for accelerating databases, virtualization, big data analytics, and other I/O-intensive applications within Cisco UCS or other compatible server platforms.

Key Features 

• Genuine Cisco & HGST Enterprise Grade: Ensures full compatibility, optimized performance, and enterprise-level reliability within Cisco UCS and other high-performance server systems.

• 7.68TB NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 SSD: Offers a very high capacity with the ultra-fast PCIe Gen3 x4 interface, providing significantly lower latency and higher throughput compared to SATA or SAS SSDs.

• Half-Height, Half-Length (HHHL) Form Factor: Standard PCIe add-in card form factor, allowing for easy installation into available PCIe slots in servers and workstations.

• Ultrastar SN260 Series: Part of HGST's (now Western Digital's enterprise brand) acclaimed Ultrastar series, known for exceptional endurance, performance, and consistent quality in data center environments.

• High Performance: Delivers superior sequential and random read/write performance, dramatically accelerating application response times and improving overall system efficiency.

• Enterprise Reliability & Endurance: Built with advanced NAND flash technology and robust controllers, designed for 24/7 operation with high endurance ratings (TBW - Total Bytes Written) for intensive workloads.

• Low Latency: NVMe protocol bypasses traditional SATA/SAS bottlenecks, providing direct access to the CPU for minimal latency and maximum IOPS.

• Ideal for Mixed-Use/Read-Intensive Workloads: While high-performing, the SN260 is often optimized for mixed read/write or predominantly read workloads common in virtualization, web serving, and database applications.
