Overview - Netfinity 36.4GB 10K UW SCSI Hot-Swap/SL hard disk drive

Content

General information

Netfinity servers supporting Ultra SCSI hot-swap hard disk drives (HDDs) can be updated to the latest 7,200 rpm and 10,000 rpm drive technologies. These new, 1-inch, slim-high form factor drive options allow you to double the storage capacity of supported Netfinity servers.

The Netfinity 36.4 GB 10K Wide Ultra SCSI Hot-Swap SL hard disk drive and the Netfinity 36.4 GB Wide Ultra SCSI Hot-Swap SL Hard Disk Drive options are supported in the following Netfinity servers:

• Netfinity 5000
• Netfinity 5500
• Netfinity 5500 M10
• Netfinity 5500 M20
• Netfinity 7000
• Netfinity 7000 M10

These HDD options are SCA-2 compliant and are mounted on hot-swap trays. This improves reliability by making a direct hot-swap connection. In addition, they contain the Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) feature,that when combined with Netfinity Manager or Netfinity Director, can alert you of impending drive failures so replacements can be made before a problem occurs.

In addition to doubling data storage capacities, these HDD options have been rigorously tested for compatibility and reliability with supported Netfinity products through the ServerProven program. This extra testing gives you the confidence these options will perform with consistency and reliability in your demanding enterprise server environment.
