36.4GB, 15000 RPM, Ultra160 SCSI, Hot-Swap
Deploy IBM eserver xSeries and IntelliStation workstations using high-performance, next-generation Hard Disk Drive (HDD) technology for Ultra160 SCSI environments. Features include:
-1-inch, slim-line form factor - Optimize storage capacity of supported systems and EXP storage expansion units.
-15,000-rpm HDDs - Deliver solid reliability and excellent performance.
-Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) - Can alert you of a problem before it occurs.
-Rigorously tested in heavy network simulation test suites.
-Available in Ultra160 SCSI hot-swap and standard versions:
--Ultra160 SCSI interface - Wide bandwidth for multi-drive, concurrent, streaming data transfers.
--80-pin, SCA-2 compliant hot-swap drive trays with convenient front-side labeling - Supports xSeries servers and EXP storage expansion units with hot-swap bays.
--68-pin standard drive - Supports xSeries servers and IntelliStation workstations without hot-swap drive bayswap drive bays.
Overview
Next-generation, 15,000-rpm hard drive technology is now available to meet your IBM eServer xSeries or IntelliStation data storage requirements. These new SCSI HDDs satisfy a range of storage requirements. Each drive is contained in a 3.5-inch, 1-inch high, slim-line form factor that allows maximum installations in supported xSeries servers and IntelliStation workstations. They are engineered to support highperformance enterprise server and workstation applications.
Next generation HDDs
-For xSeries servers with hot-swap bays and EXP storage expansion units select:.
--18.2 GB 15K-rpm Ultra160 SCSI Hot-Swap SL HDD.
--36.4 GB 15K-rpm Ultra160 SCSI Hot-Swap SL HDD.
-For xSeries with standard drive bays and IntelliStation models select:.

High-density and performance
Through advanced areal density technology, these HDDs store a large amount of data on each platter. This enables high data storage capacities on supported systems, while providing excellent storage subsystem performance. Performance characteristics include:
-15,000-rpm spindle speed - 2.0 ms average latency and 4.1 ms typical average read seek time.
-Ultra160 SCSI interface - Supports instantaneous interface data transfers of up to 160 MB/s.
Reliability
-SCA-2 compliant (hot-swap version) - HDDs dock directly into the hot-swap backplane of supported products.
-Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) - Can alert you of most impending drive failures so replacements can be made before a problem occurs.
-Rigorously tested through the ServerProven program - Peace of mind that your xSeries and IntelliStation storage subsystem is compatible and will function reliably.
