Cisco 1 TB 2.5" Internal SATA Hard Drive — SATA/600, 7200 RPM

Discover enterprise-grade storage with the Cisco 1 TB 2.5" internal hard drive, engineered to deliver dependable performance in demanding networking environments. This compact, high-capacity HDD combines a 2.5-inch form factor with a SATA/600 interface and a brisk 7200 RPM rotational speed, making it an ideal upgrade for Cisco equipment, servers, and other enterprise storage deployments. Whether you’re expanding capacity for configuration backups, log archives, media libraries, or mission-critical data, this drive is designed to provide consistent throughput, solid reliability, and straightforward integration into your existing infrastructure. With generous 1 TB capacity, you’ll have ample space to store documents, photos, videos, and essential network data while keeping your systems responsive and efficient.

• 1 TB capacity for expansive storage — store documents, photos, videos, logs, and backups with room to grow across Cisco devices and enterprise servers. The large storage base helps you consolidate data locally, reduces the need for frequent off-site backups, and supports rapid recovery in the event of system faults. With a robust capacity, IT teams can maintain longer retention policies and retain historical data for analytics, auditing, and compliance requirements.
• 2.5" form factor for compact deployments — a smaller footprint that fits into a wide range of devices, including compact network appliances, blade servers, and space-constrained NAS units. The 2.5-inch form factor not only saves space but also improves airflow and cooling efficiency in dense racks and chassis configurations, helping to keep temperatures stable during heavy workloads and extended operation.
• SATA/600 interface for fast data transfer — built to deliver up to 6 Gbps of throughput, enabling quicker boot times, faster data access, and smoother performance during large file transfers and real-time data processing. This interface is designed to be compatible with modern controllers used in Cisco equipment and other enterprise-grade systems, ensuring reliable, steady performance across a range of deployments.
• 7200 RPM for quick access — higher rotational speed translates to reduced seek times and improved overall read/write performance. This is particularly beneficial for workloads requiring rapid access to frequently used data, such as system logs, virtual machine caches, firmware updates, and media streaming within network storage ecosystems.
• Reliability and compatibility — engineered for continuous operation in enterprise environments, the drive prioritizes durability and predictable performance. It’s designed to integrate smoothly with Cisco hardware and similar networking equipment, providing dependable storage that you can trust for uptime-sensitive applications and long-term deployments.

How to install Cisco 1 TB Hard Drive

• Prepare the system — Power down the device completely, unplug from power, and disconnect any connected cables. Ground yourself to avoid static discharge, and have a clean workspace ready for component installation.
• Access the drive bay — Remove the chassis cover or access panel following the manufacturer’s instructions for your Cisco device or server. Locate the 2.5" drive bay or tray where the new hard drive will be installed.
• Mount the drive — Align the drive with the drive tray or mounting bracket, then secure it using the appropriate screws or tool-less mounting mechanism. Ensure the drive sits firmly in the bay to avoid vibrations during operation.
• Connect data and power — Attach the SATA data cable to the drive’s data port and connect the other end to the motherboard or controller. Connect the SATA power cable to the drive and ensure all connections are snug but not forced.
• Power up and detect — Replace the chassis cover, reconnect power, and boot the system. Enter BIOS/UEFI or the device’s boot/configuration menu to confirm that the new 1 TB drive is recognized. If necessary, initialize, partition, and format the drive using your preferred operating system or storage management utility.
• Verify performance — after initialization, copy a test file or run a small benchmark to confirm read/write performance aligns with expectations. Monitor system temperatures and performance to ensure stable operation under load.
