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:.

--18.2 GB 15K-rpm Ultra160 SCSI SL HDD.

--36.4 GB 15K-rpm Ultra160 SCSI SL HDD.

**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.
