"Cisco Catalyst 9400 is a next generation modular switch that supports model-driven programmability, streaming
telemetry, and so on. To support the storage need for these features, the Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series Supervisor
has an M2 connector that hosts a 22x88mm M2 SATA flash card. SATA configuration ranges from 240GB,
480GB to 960GB"

It will depened on your intentions. With those SATA you can extend functionalities lile programmability and application hosting.
