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.
