HP 404396-005 36.4GB 2Gb/s Fibre Channel 15000 3.5-in 16MB Hard Drive

Product Description

The HP 404396-005 is a high-performance 3.5-inch hard drive engineered for demanding enterprise storage environments. With a substantial capacity of 36.4GB, it provides ample space for critical data. The drive utilizes a Fibre Channel interface, operating at a speed of 2Gb/s, which is a robust and reliable protocol commonly used in SAN (Storage Area Network) environments for its high throughput and low latency characteristics. This makes it suitable for mission-critical applications that require consistent and fast access to data. Featuring a rapid spindle speed of 15000 RPM, this hard drive delivers exceptional performance in terms of seek times and data transfer rates. The high rotational speed significantly reduces the time it takes for the read/write heads to locate data on the platters, leading to quicker response times for applications and users. Coupled with its 16MB cache, which helps buffer frequently accessed data, the 404396-005 is optimized for workloads that involve frequent read and write operations, such as databases, transaction processing, and virtualization. This drive is an integral component for HP storage solutions and enterprise servers that require reliable, high-speed storage. Its 3.5-inch form factor is standard for many enterprise-grade disk arrays and servers. The combination of Fibre Channel connectivity, high RPM, and ample cache makes the HP 404396-005 a powerful choice for organizations seeking to enhance their storage infrastructure with drives that offer a balance of capacity, speed, and enterprise-grade reliability.
