HP 142690-001 18GB Ultra-160 SCSI 10000 3.5-in Hard Drive

Product Description

This HP hard drive, identified by SKU 142690-001, is a high-performance storage solution tailored for demanding enterprise environments. It offers an 18GB capacity, providing essential storage for operating systems, applications, and databases that require fast and reliable access. The Ultra-160 SCSI interface is a key attribute, delivering enhanced data transfer speeds and improved efficiency over previous SCSI generations, making it suitable for servers and storage arrays that rely on this robust protocol. The drive's 10000 RPM rotational speed is critical for its performance, enabling significantly reduced seek times and faster data retrieval. This high speed is particularly beneficial for I/O-intensive workloads such as transaction processing, database management, and high-traffic web serving, where minimizing latency is a priority. The standard 3.5-inch form factor ensures broad compatibility with most server chassis and storage enclosures. While specific cache size is not detailed in the title, the combination of its high rotational speed and advanced Ultra-160 SCSI interface makes the HP 142690-001 a powerful component for mission-critical systems. It is designed to provide consistent performance and data integrity, making it a reliable choice for upgrading or maintaining servers that demand superior storage capabilities.
