IBM Travelstar 12GN - hard drive - 12 GB - ATA-66

Featuring a wide array of leading-edge technologies, the IBM Travelstar 12GN mobile hard drives continue the tradition of IBM leadership in the mobile storage arena. These IBM Travelstar drives employ advanced design and engineering innovations to significantly increase shock resistance while simultaneously reducing heat and noise levels. As a result, the new IBM Travelstar drives are ideally suited for demanding, high-capacity Internet, digital audio, video streaming, and real-time multimedia applications - whether users are in the office or on the road. The IBM Travelstar 12GN has the industry's highest shock rating. An advanced electromechanical design provides exceptional storage capacities and superior shock ratings to improve reliability and ruggedness. The innovative hard drive design combines IBM giant magnetoresistive (GMR) head technology, Partial Response Maximum Likelihood (PRML) digital channel, a head load/unload feature, a more rigid base casting than previous models, Enhanced Adaptive Battery Life Extender (ABLE) 3.0, and state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques. This design provides the exceptional storage capacity, performance, power management, quality, and reliability required by today's notebook systems.
