HP 286722-B21 72.8GB Ultra-320 SCSI 10000 3.5-in Hard Drive

Description

The HP 286722-B21 is a high-capacity internal hard drive designed for enterprise servers and storage systems. With a storage capacity of 72.8GB, it provides ample space for operating systems, applications, and critical data. The drive utilizes the Ultra-320 SCSI interface, which represents a significant advancement over previous SCSI generations, offering a maximum theoretical transfer rate of 320MB/s. This interface ensures high-speed data transfer and robust connectivity for demanding workloads. Operating at a spindle speed of 10000 RPM, this drive delivers excellent performance in terms of seek times and sustained data throughput. This makes it ideal for I/O-intensive applications such as databases, file servers, web servers, and virtualization environments where fast data access is crucial. The 3.5-inch form factor is standard for enterprise hard drives, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of server chassis and drive bays. While not explicitly stated in the title, enterprise-grade SCSI drives of this era are typically hot-swappable, allowing for drive replacement or addition without shutting down the server, thereby minimizing downtime and maintaining continuous operation. The 80-pin SCA connector is standard for Ultra-320 SCSI drives, facilitating easy integration into SCSI backplanes and RAID controllers. This HP drive is a reliable and high-performance storage solution for environments requiring the speed and dependability of SCSI technology.
