Content

• statement of non-warranted hot-swap hard disk drives

At a glance

Deploy IBM eServer xSeries servers and IntelliStation workstations using high-density, SCSI hard disk drive (HDD) technology to significantly increase your storage subsystem capacities. 73.4 GB HDDs feature:

• 1-inch, slim-line form factor -- Double storage capacity of supported systems and EXP storage units
• 10,000 rpm HDDs -- Deliver solid reliability and excellent performance
• Ultra160 SCSI interface -- Wide bandwidth for streaming data transfers
• Available in hot-swap and standard versions:
  • Converged hot-swap drive tray -- Supports xSeries servers, Netfinity servers, and EXP storage units with hot-swap bays
  • Standard drive supports xSeries servers and IntelliStation workstations without hot-swap drive bays
• Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) -- Can alert you of a problem before it occurs
• Rigorously tested in heavy network simulation test suites

Overview
Take advantage of the latest SCSI hard disk technology. Install high-speed, high-density 73.4 GB(1) 10,000 rpm Ultra160 SCSI slim-line HDDs in hot-swap or standard drive bays of xSeries servers and IntelliStation workstations.

These 3.5-inch, slim-line, hot-swap and standard HDD options can double storage capacities for those who need high-speed data storage for demanding enterprise server and workstation applications.

High-density and performance
Through advancements in areal density, these HDDs store a tremendous amount of data in a slim-line form factor. This optimizes the storage capacities of supported systems, while providing excellent storage subsystem performance:

• Compatible(2) with many:
  • xSeries servers
  • Netfinity servers
  • EXP storage units
• IntelliStation workstations
• Excellent performance:
  • Up to 10,000 rpm spindle speeds
  • 4.9 ms average seek time
  • 2.99 ms average latency
  • Supports Ultra160 SCSI technology that allows 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 impending drive failures so replacements can be made before a problem occurs
• Rigorously tested through ServerProven program -- Optimizes compatibility and reliability of your xSeries or IntelliStation storage subsystem
• Three-year, limited warranty(3)

(1) When referring to hard drive capacity, GB stands for one thousand million bytes. Total user-accessible capacity may vary depending on operating environments.
