IBM 31L9070 hard drive specifications
IBM Deskstar 37GP - hard drive - 37.5 GB - ATA-66
If you are running advanced desktop applications, such as animation, audio and video editing, or CAD/CAM, you need high-capacity, high-performance data storage. IBM's Deskstar 37GP stores up to 37.5GB of data, has an Ultra ATA/66 interface for data transfer rates up to 66.7MB per second, and provides a fast 5400RPM spindle speed. Add to that a large 2MB cache, an average seek time of 9ms, and media transfer rates up to 248Mb per second and you have a powerful, reliable solution to your storage needs. The Deskstar 37GP features IBM's giant magnetoresistive (GMR) heads and No-ID sector formatting technology, which increases the amount of data stored on each disk surface and reduces the number of disks and heads required for a given capacity. With fewer heads and disks per gigabyte, the drive uses less power and generates less heat and sound. The 3.5-inch, low-profile Deskstar is SMART compliant, which helps prevent data loss and provides advance warning of drive failure, and features IBM's Drive Fitness Test (DFT), which helps you to isolate system failures and reduces the likelihood of returning your drive unnecessarily.
