Hitachi 15K300 - 146 GB, 15000 RPM, 4Gb/s FCAL, 3.5", 16MB, 745g, Black

**Built upon proven technology**

Hitachi’s next-generation 3.5-inch 15,000 RPM hard drive delivers the performance and

reliability required for mission-critical enterprise computing environments. Leveraging the

proven system architecture and electronics of the previous generation, the Ultrastar™ 15K300

provides up to 300GB capacity, 16MB cache and Ultra320 SCSI, 3Gb/s Serial Attached

SCSI (SAS) and 4Gb/s Fibre Channel interfaces. These features make the Ultrastar 15K300

the ideal solution for demanding enterprise computing environments like online transaction

processing, intensive data analysis and other multi-user applications. The mature design of

the Ultrastar 15K300 helps to ensure shorter qualifi cation times.

**Demonstrated reliability**

Key reliablility features have been built into the Ultrastar 15K300. Rotational Vibration Safeguard

(RVS) technology ensures drive performance in multi-drive systems where rotational

vibration is likely to occur. Hitachi’s Thermal Fly-height Control (TFC) capability maintains

a consistent fl y-height during the read/write process ensuring a better soft error rate and

end-to-end data protection enhances error detection for optimal data integrity. Finally, Hitachi

offers the only enterprise-class hard drive utilizing a head load/unload ramp to help minimize

drive failures as a result of handling during integration.
