HP 3R-AD859-AA 36.4GB Ultra-160 SCSI 10000 3.5-inch Hard Drive

Product Description

This 36.4GB Ultra-160 SCSI hard drive, identified by SKU 3R-AD859-AA, is a component designed for enterprise-level storage solutions. The Ultra-160 SCSI interface provides a robust and reliable connection, offering a maximum theoretical transfer rate of 160 MB/s, which was a significant standard for high-performance storage at the time of its introduction. This interface is known for its command queuing capabilities and error handling, making it suitable for demanding server environments. The drive features a spindle speed of 10,000 RPM, which translates to faster seek times and improved data access compared to drives with lower rotational speeds. This makes it a practical choice for applications requiring frequent data retrieval and processing, such as file servers, application servers, and database storage. The 3.5-inch form factor is standard for most enterprise-class hard drives, ensuring broad compatibility with server backplanes and drive bays. HP's commitment to reliability is evident in drives like the 3R-AD859-AA, which are built to withstand the continuous operation demands of server environments. Often supporting hot-swapping, these drives allow for maintenance or replacement without system interruption, a critical feature for maintaining uptime and operational continuity in business-critical infrastructures. This drive represents a solid option for upgrading or maintaining SCSI-based server systems.
