IBM 19K1487 hard drive specifications
hard drive - 36.4 GB - Ultra160 SCSI
IBM has enhanced its SCSI hard disk drive (HDD) lineup with the latest generation offerings that provide higher performance and increased capacity. The new offerings provide customers with spindle speeds available in top-performing 10,000-rpm and the value-oriented 7200-rpm. These drives also provides support for the new Ultra160 SCSI protocol, doubling interface speeds from last year and enabling more drives per cable. They features perfect SCSI solutions for non-hot-swap Netfinity servers, IntelliStation workstations, and many PC 300 desktop systems. The 10,000-rpm offerings provide an easy way to extend the performance range of entry servers handling demanding transaction processing tasks and of workstations dealing with enormous real-time video data files. The 7200 rpm drives provide a value oriented choice for less demanding tasks, and because of their lower power and cooling needs, are the only SCSI drives qualified for use in PC 300's. These HDDs have Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.), which warn of predictable forms of impending hard drive failure. Drives predicting failure within the warranty period are eligible for replacement, before failure, at IBM's expense. S.M.A.R.T. is compatible with IBM S.M.A.R.T. Reaction software that can perform unattended backup of customer data from the drives before failure. These new drives benefit from a drive quality, reliability, compatibility, and testing program that is second to none. IBM installs and tests millions of HDDs. Ongoing quality management in support of the system production provides options customers with drives continuously selected from among the best quality HDDs available.
