IBM Travelstar 6GN - hard drive - 4.8 GB - ATA-33
As notebook and ultra-portable computers become more powerful, more is being expected of them, and more is riding on the performance, capacity, and reliability of their data storage capabilities. Significant advances in multimedia applications, network computing, the Internet, and other forms of online communication have stretched the boundaries of mobile computing. The Travelstar family of mobile hard disk drives combines industry-leading storage capacity and superior performance with advanced technology and proven ruggedness for notebook computer systems and mobile-computing applications. The IBM Travelstar 6GN offers industry-leading areal density (an amazing 5.7 Gbits/sq. inch), which results in impressive capacity and the industry's lightest hard disk drive. Other features include Drive Fitness Test (DFT), Enhanced Adaptive Battery Life Extender 3.0 power management technology, fast data rates, a rotational speed of 4200 RPM, and a 512 KB data buffer. The IBM Travelstar 6GN sets a new benchmark for ultra-portable mobile hard disk drive capacity, performance, and quality.
