6.4GB DeskStar 5 EIDE Hard Drive - Product Overview

Applicable to: World-Wide

• Product Jumper Settings page.

• MR head technology: MR head technology puts more data in less physical space while improving read/write accuracy: which permits higher density recording, means fewer heads and disks are needed to build the drive giving you the benefits of improved data throughput, better energy efficiency and greater reliability.
• High recording density - Packs a capacity of over 1.6GB per platter, providing superior drive performance.
• IBM No-ID formatting - IBM No-ID formatting provides additional storage efficiency and performance.
• Partial Response Maximum Likelihood (PRML) - Partial Response Maximum Likelihood (PRML) improves read performance.
• S.M.A.R.T. capability - S.M.A.R.T. (Self Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) capability helps insure data protection by providing advanced warning of impending drive failure when used with the appropriate software (such as IBM NetFinity).
• Ultra ATA-3 interface - Enables DMA burst data transfer rates at up to 33MBps
• No-ID sector formatting
• Partial Response Maximum Likelihood (PRML) read channel electronics
• Supports a capacity of over 1.6GB per platter
• 4 platters
• 8 logical parns (heads, cyl, sectors)
