Cisco UCS-SD16TG1KHY-EP – 1.6TB 12G SAS Self-Encrypting SSD is a high-performance enterprise-grade solid-state drive designed for Cisco UCS servers, delivering exceptional speed, reliability, and data security. Featuring a 12Gbps SAS interface and SFF-8482 connector, this SSD ensures fast data transfer rates and compatibility with 3.5-inch bays via a 2.5″ carrier. With a 1.6TB storage capacity, 10 DWPD endurance, and up to 200,000 random read IOPS, it is engineered for demanding workloads such as virtualization, database management, and high-transaction enterprise applications.
Built with Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) technology, the Cisco UCS-SD16TG1KHY-EP safeguards sensitive data while maintaining ultra-low latency — ≤ 100 µs read and ≤ 25 µs write. Its robust design offers MTBF over 2 million hours, ~ 29PBW write endurance, and efficient power usage (approx. 10W active, 4.5W idle). Operating reliably between 0 °C and 60 °C, this SSD is ideal for mission-critical environments that require consistent performance, enhanced security, and long-term durability.
Whether upgrading or expanding your UCS infrastructure, the Cisco UCS-SD16TG1KHY-EP delivers the speed, security, and reliability essential for modern data centers.
