Hewlett Packard PV943UT (500 GB)


Serial ATA Hard Drives maximize the performance of HP Workstations by providing the technologies to meet your increasing storage demands. These high-capacity drives offer superior reliability and performance.


Hewlett Packard 375861-B21 (72 GB)


Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) is the logical evolution of SCSI, including its long-established software advantage and the Serial ATA (SATA) electrical and physical connection interface. With enterprise storage requirements escalating and becoming more complex, factors such as larger capacity, greater density, security, scalability and accessibility are more critical than ever. Enterprise data centers must be online all the time, fulfill requests from numerous users simultaneously, allow for constant growth and expansion and be maintained while in operation. Serial Attached SCSI meets all these demands while providing the highest performance.Minimize

"IBM presents the sixth generation of IBM Ultrastar 10,000 rpm disk drives. The IBM Ultrastar 146Z10 drive family offers high quality and superior performance. These drives feature more powerful processors and read/write channels to excel in server-class environments. To achieve maximum I/O performance, the drives combine fast seek times, large 8 MB multi-segmented buffers, a sophisticated command queuing algorithm, hardware automation, and superior data rates (825 Mbps). Ultrastar 146Z10 drives include a servo technology (Rotational Vibration Safeguard ""RVS""), employed to counteract the effects of rotational vibration that commonly occur in multi-drive cabinets. They also employ a fifth-generation giant magnetoresistive (GMR) head technology to double areal density from previous generation drives (26.3 Gbits/sq.in.) and boost performance. In addition, highly efficient No-ID sector formatting enables more data to be stored per disk.Feature Value Header / Product Line IBM UltraStar Header / Model 146Z1"Minimize
