Seagate Cheetah 10K.6 (36.7 GB)

$49.00 to $236.00



The Cheetah 10K.6 is Seagate's sixth-generation 10K RPM high performance, high capacity disk drive. With the fastest interfaces, the highest reliability and the most mature product design, the Cheetah 10K.6 enables the lowest ownership cost. In data intensive environments, increasing the capacity per disk drive lowers ownership costs by deploying fewer systems that use less cubic feet of space requiring less infrastructure such as cabinets, HBAs and less wattage of power.Minimize

Hewlett Packard Compaq 289044-001 (145.6 GB)


"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


Toshiba MK 6021GAS (60 GB)


The MK6021GAS, 2.5-inch 60GB hard disk drive, offers the industries highest areal density per platter, at 48.8gigabits per square inch. This new drive offers enough capacity for portable video recording and editing, with lower power consumption compared to the traditional 3.5-inch HDDs. This functionality provides ideal storage for a range of commercial and consumer notebooks, as well as non-PC applications such as PDAs, printers, copiers, GPS systems and MP3 players. The MK6021GAS is ATA-5 compliant, supporting high transfer rates of up to 100 megabytes per second.Minimize
