HP 3R-A4790-AA 36.4GB 2Gb/s Fibre Channel 15000 3.5-inch 16MB Hard Drive

Description

The HP 3R-A4790-AA is a 36.4GB enterprise-class hard drive featuring a 2Gb/s Fibre Channel interface. Fibre Channel is a high-speed networking technology primarily used in storage area networks (SANs) for connecting servers to storage devices, offering superior performance, scalability, and reliability compared to traditional SCSI or IDE interfaces. The drive's rapid 15000 RPM rotational speed signifies its design for demanding I/O operations and low latency requirements. This drive is built in the 3.5-inch form factor, which is standard for many enterprise storage solutions, allowing for integration into high-density server and storage arrays. The 16MB cache memory helps to buffer data and improve the efficiency of read and write operations, further enhancing its performance in high-throughput environments. Its capacity of 36.4GB, while modest by today's standards, was typical for high-performance drives focused on speed and reliability in enterprise applications. Designed for mission-critical applications, the 3R-A4790-AA is engineered for continuous operation and data integrity. Its Fibre Channel interface and high rotational speed make it suitable for use in servers running databases, virtualization platforms, and other applications that require fast and reliable access to large amounts of data. This drive represents a robust storage solution for environments where performance and uptime are paramount.
