SonicWall SuperMassive Firewalls - Refurbished, Used, New
The SonicWall SuperMassive Series was SonicWall's enterprise and data center firewall line before the NSsp range replaced it. These 9000 series appliances remain widely deployed, and on the secondary market they are one of the most cost-effective ways to put serious inspection capacity into a rack.
Which SuperMassive model do you need?
| Model | Firewall | Threat prevention | App inspection | IPS | Max connections (DPI) | New conn/sec |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SuperMassive 9200 | 15 Gbps | 3 Gbps | 5 Gbps | 5 Gbps | 1,500,000 | 100,000 |
| SuperMassive 9400 | 20 Gbps | 4.4 Gbps | 10 Gbps | 10 Gbps | 1,500,000 | 130,000 |
| SuperMassive 9600 | 20 Gbps | 4.5 Gbps | 11.5 Gbps | 11.5 Gbps | 2,000,000 | 130,000 |
| SuperMassive 9800 | 31.8 Gbps | 10.5 Gbps | 23 Gbps | 21.3 Gbps | 2,500,000 | 229,000 |
All four models share the same interface layout: 8 x 1GbE SFP, 8 x 1GbE copper, 4 x 10GbE SFP+ and a dedicated management port. The 9800 adds four more 1GbE SFP ports. Because the ports do not meaningfully change across the line, this is a range you choose purely on inspection capacity.
The 9400 and 9600 are closer than their numbers suggest. Both do 20 Gbps firewall throughput, and threat prevention differs by 100 Mbps. The 9600 adds roughly 15 percent more application inspection and IPS capacity and lifts the connection table from 1.5 to 2 million. If you are weighing the two on price, the 9400 gives you most of the 9600 for noticeably less.
The 9800 is the one genuine step up. Firewall throughput goes to 31.8 Gbps, threat prevention more than doubles to 10.5 Gbps, and new connections per second rises from 130,000 to 229,000. Within this family it is the only model that changes class.
A word on where these fit today. The SuperMassive line runs the older SonicOS release rather than SonicOS 7, so it does not offer Secure SD-WAN or TLS 1.3 decryption. What it does offer is the patented Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection engine, clustering, high availability pairing and 10 gigabit uplinks, at secondary-market prices well below current hardware. For an internal segmentation firewall, a lab, a DMZ boundary or a site where the inspection requirement is well understood and stable, that is often the right trade.
Transfer ready or non-transferable?
Every SonicWall we list states its registration status, because on the secondary market that matters as much as physical condition.
TRANSFER READY means the unit can be registered into your own MySonicWall account. From there you can add support, security service subscriptions and warranty, the same as a unit bought new.
NON-TRANSFERABLE means the unit cannot be moved into your MySonicWall account. It still works, and it is still managed locally through its own interface with the full configuration under your control. What you cannot do is add services, subscriptions or warranty to it. We price them as hardware, and they make sense for a lab, a cold spare, or a site that needs raw firewalling and VPN capacity without subscription services.
