Product Description
The HP A5574AN hard drive is a high-performance storage solution designed for enterprise environments, boasting an 18.2GB capacity and a rapid 10000 RPM spindle speed. It leverages the Ultra-160 SCSI interface, which doubles the data transfer rate of Ultra-320 SCSI to a theoretical maximum of 160 MB/s. This makes it an excellent choice for mission-critical servers, high-end workstations, and storage arrays that require fast and reliable access to data, such as database servers, virtualization hosts, and high-transaction systems. The drive features a 3.5-inch form factor, standard for server and workstation installations, and uses a 68-pin connector compatible with Ultra-160 SCSI controllers. The 10000 RPM rotational speed significantly reduces average seek times, typically to around 4.9 ms, which is crucial for I/O-intensive workloads. Ultra-160 SCSI also incorporates advanced features like command queuing, which allows the drive to process multiple commands simultaneously, further enhancing overall throughput and system responsiveness. Built for the demands of continuous operation, the HP A5574AN offers robust data integrity and sustained performance. Its capacity is suitable for operating systems, critical applications, and essential data storage. This drive represents a significant upgrade for systems requiring high-speed, reliable storage, providing a substantial performance boost over older SCSI standards and IDE interfaces.
