Every WhaleyComm unit is professionally tested, reset to factory defaults, and certified by our in-house engineers — the same standard trusted by 5,000+ organisations across 25 years. Not a refurb marketplace. A certified lifecycle partner.
Tested to factory specification. Backed by 25 years of enterprise trust.
The Cisco C9K-F1-SSD-240G is a Refurbished 240GB pluggable SSD module purpose-built for the Cisco Catalyst 9000 series switching platform. As enterprise networks grow increasingly software-defined and application-aware, the demand for local on-switch storage has become critical — and this SSD module directly addresses that need.Designed as a field-installable, hot-pluggable storage component, the C9K-F1-SSD-240G integrates seamlessly into supported Catalyst 9000 switches to provide dedicated storage capacity. This enables key use cases such as extended system logging and event archiving, Wireshark-based on-device packet capture, and support for Cisco's IOx application hosting framework — allowing containerized network applications and services to run directly on the switch.
Purchased as a Refurbished unit through WhaleyComm, this module has been inspected and verified for functionality, offering enterprise-grade performance at a reduced cost compared to new equivalents. It is an ideal choice for IT teams looking to enable advanced Catalyst 9000 capabilities — such as DNA Center telemetry buffering or third-party application hosting — while managing hardware budget constraints.
WhaleyComm's Refurbished Cisco hardware inventory is sourced from trusted channels, making the C9K-F1-SSD-240G an accessible upgrade for network teams running Catalyst 9000 infrastructure. Consult your Cisco IOS XE software documentation to confirm the minimum software version required for full SSD functionality on your specific platform.

Ideal Use Cases
Extended Network Logging & Event Archiving
The 240GB SSD provides ample local storage for long-term system logs, syslog archives, and network event data on Catalyst 9000 switches. This eliminates reliance on remote syslog servers for short-term forensic analysis and troubleshooting.
On-Device Packet Capture
Network engineers can leverage the SSD to store large packet capture files directly on the switch using built-in Wireshark or SPAN-based tools. This capability accelerates root-cause analysis without requiring external capture appliances or traffic redirection.
IOx Application Hosting
The C9K-F1-SSD-240G enables the Cisco IOx framework, allowing containerized third-party or custom network applications to run natively on supported Catalyst 9000 switches. This supports edge computing and distributed application deployment strategies without additional hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions
Product-specific answers about compatibility, testing, warranty, fulfilment, and purchase confidence.
The C9K-F1-SSD-240G is a 240GB pluggable SSD designed for Cisco Catalyst 9000 series switches. It provides local on-device storage for use cases including system logging, on-device packet capture, and hosting applications via the Cisco IOx framework.
The C9K-F1-SSD-240G is designed as a field-replaceable pluggable module for Catalyst 9000 platforms; however, insertion and removal procedures should be followed per Cisco's hardware installation guidelines. [Verify hot-plug capability without disruption for your specific platform and IOS XE version before installation.]
Refurbished means this unit has been previously deployed and has since been inspected and verified for functionality before being made available for resale. It offers the same core hardware capabilities as a new unit at a more accessible price point, making it a cost-effective option for expanding Catalyst 9000 storage.
Compatibility varies by specific Catalyst 9000 platform model, supervisor module, and IOS XE software version. We recommend cross-referencing the Cisco Catalyst 9000 hardware installation guides and Cisco's official compatibility matrix, or contacting WhaleyComm's technical team for pre-purchase compatibility assistance.
