Engineered for server-grade reliability, the Cisco 960 GB Solid State Drive delivers robust performance and energy efficiency. This 2.5-inch enterprise SSD uses a SATA interface to accelerate data access for frequently accessed files, databases, and virtualization workloads, while consuming less power than traditional HDDs. With 960 GB capacity and 1 DWPD endurance, it blends high-capacity storage with durability for demanding data-center environments. Whether you’re modernizing a rack, upgrading a blade, or expanding a storage array, this drive is designed to keep critical applications responsive and resilient under load.

  • Uncompromising server-grade performance: This drive is built for modern data centers and busy servers, delivering fast access to frequently requested data. The 960 GB capacity supports large databases, virtual machines, and boot/install images, enabling rapid deployment and minimal downtime. With optimized read/write paths and low latency, it reduces bottlenecks in I/O-heavy environments and helps sustain steady service levels across web apps, databases, and analytics workloads. In virtualized environments, the drive helps maintain predictable performance as workloads scale, ensuring consistent user experiences even during peak demand.
  • Energy-efficient operation and reliability: Enterprise SSDs are designed to lower energy consumption while extending lifespan. This Cisco drive reduces power draw during idle periods and maintains performance under load, contributing to lower TCO for data centers. The drive’s enduring design translates to fewer maintenance events and longer intervals between replacements, while supporting reliability-focused features such as data integrity safeguards and robust error recovery. For IT teams, the result is a more sustainable storage solution that supports green IT initiatives without sacrificing throughput or uptime.
  • 2.5-inch form factor with SATA/600 interface: The standard 2.5-inch size makes it compatible with a wide range of server sleds and storage arrays, while the SATA 6Gb/s (SATA/600) interface delivers solid sequential and random performance for real-world workloads. This combination makes it a versatile replacement or expansion drive for server blades, rackmounts, and enterprise storage enclosures. The compact form factor also simplifies hot-swap configurations in data-center racks, enabling faster maintenance and reduced downtime when drives fail or reach the end of their life.
  • Endurance and warranty details: The drive features 1 DWPD endurance, meaning it can be written to once per day for the drive’s warranty period. In dense server deployments or test and development environments, this endurance translates to dependable long-term operation. Cisco enterprise SSDs are typically backed by enterprise-grade warranties and support agreements, ensuring prompt replacement and access to technical resources if a failure occurs. This level of guarantee helps IT teams plan capacity and budget with confidence while sustaining service levels under heavy workloads.
  • Ideal use cases and benefits: Use this 960 GB SSD as a boot drive for servers, a cache or tier within storage pools, or as a high-speed datastore for databases and virtualization hosts. It accelerates operating system load times, accelerates database queries, and improves VM performance. By enabling faster file access and retrieval, it reduces latency and improves end-user experiences for enterprise apps, ERP systems, and cloud workloads. The drive’s reliability under continuous operation makes it well-suited for mission-critical applications where consistent I/O performance and rapid recovery are essential.

Replacement stickers are on the way!!
Color: silver, Color: silver
Edit: Customer service was lovely and I have replacement stickers on the way. This fabulous product has helped me so much and I can't be without it. Back up to a 5 star review. I purchased this product in April 2024. The stickers that help the laptop 'grab' onto the stand are either gone or unstable. See picture below. Can it be repaired with new stickers? How do I get them?

Sixty Bucks? Yep. And I'd buy another one.
Color: silver
OK, I had my doubts. Yes, the iLevel2 is highly-reviewed. And yes, it's really (really) important to have your laptop screen at eye level (get it? iLevel?) But spending 60 dollars on an adjustable laptop stand? Couldn't I just pile up a couple of old books for free? Well, as a contractor once told me when I made a really dumb suggestion, "You COULD do it that way..." The iLevel2's main virtue is that the angle/height adjustment knob is rock-solid, as is the platform. It's just an extremely well-made, solid product. And the adjustment knob, which is on a left-right track on the front of the product, allows you to dial in your laptop's screen height to the millimeter. Result: a totally-custom, ergonomically-friendly setup. Love it.

Underwhelming
Color: silver
Too much hype. It just holds the laptop. Buy something cheaper. The slide adjuster isn’t useful to me at all.

Useful but not perfect
Color: silver
Useful, but typing with laptop perched on it is unsteady. I use a separate keyboard.

Why are people trying to type on a laptop stand?
Color: silver
So the overwhelmingly negative reviews you'll notice for this product specifically surround the "bounciness" of this stand when someone is typing on it—however what is confusing to me is how people are purchasing a laptop stand in theory to optimize their ergonomics, yet also stretching their arms out and elevating them to type on said laptop once it's raised. the point of a laptop riser/stand is to elevate the screen so that you can maintain a more natural posture. One would assume you have an external keyboard to use in conjunction with your laptop once you place it on a RISER, because the idea is to elevate your laptop as a SCREEN and then have a level/flat surface to type on, thereby alleviating any awkward hunching or neck strain looking down or anywhere not naturally eye-level. as it is, it's a perfectly functional and elegant laptop riser. I don't find myself wanting to adjust the height often if ever, but in the one or two instances I experimented with it, found no mechanical issues. It looks nice with Apple hardware and allows me to have my laptop's screen flush with the bottom edge of my additional external monitor, so it serves my purposes well. for people complaining about how it bounces when they type on it ... STOP typing on your laptop's keyboard when you have it elevated on a riser! this defeats the purpose and probably also makes your arms tired—buy an external keyboard!
