Solid State Drives (SSD)
The Cisco ISR 4451-Xs contain two solid state drives (SSD) that provide nonvolatile storage in the form
of an internal flash disk. On the front panel of the router, the SSD LED indicates activity on the hard
drive.
The SSD carrier card NIM can support upto two SFF 2.5” SATA2 or SATA3 (7mm or less) SSDs.
