IBM DCAS-32160 hard drive specifications

IBM Ultrastar 2ES - hard drive - 2.1 GB - Ultra SCSI

The Ultrastar 2ES drive achieves its reliability, performance and cost-effectiveness by taking advantage of IBM's development and implementation experience in advanced disk drive technologies. These technologies include Magneto-Resistive (MR) heads, No-ID sector formatting, and the Partial Response Maximum Likelihood (PRML) digital channel. MR heads offer increased areal density, reducing the number of disks and heads required for a given capacity. No-ID sector formatting further increases storage capacity by eliminating the overhead caused by the duplicate storage of each data sector's ID field onto the disk, creating more available disk space for customer data. The PRML digital channel now implemented on IBM's newest desktop drives such as the Ultrastar 2ES allows for higher areal densities and significantly enhances the drive's overall performance.
