HP A6982-60001U 73GB 10000RPM Ultra160 SCSI Hot Swappable LVD 80-Pin 3.5-Inch Hard Drive

Product Description

The HP A6982-60001U hard drive represents a high-performance storage solution tailored for enterprise environments where speed and reliability are critical. With a capacity of 73GB, it offers a substantial amount of storage for operating systems, applications, and frequently accessed data. The drive's rotational speed of 10000 RPM significantly enhances data access times and throughput compared to slower drives, making it suitable for demanding workloads such as database operations, transaction processing, and virtualization. This drive features the Ultra160 SCSI interface, which provides a high bandwidth connection capable of supporting data transfer rates up to 160MB/s. Combined with Low Voltage Differential (LVD) signaling, it ensures robust signal integrity and performance over the SCSI bus. The 80-pin connector is standard for Ultra160 SCSI configurations, facilitating compatibility with enterprise-grade storage controllers and backplanes. Its 3.5-inch form factor is a common standard in server hardware, allowing for easy integration into a wide range of server chassis and storage arrays. A key feature of the A6982-60001U is its hot-swappable design. This allows the drive to be removed from or inserted into a running server without requiring a system shutdown. This capability is essential for enterprise data centers that need to maintain continuous operation and perform maintenance tasks, such as drive replacement or upgrades, with minimal disruption. The combination of high speed, robust interface, and hot-swap functionality makes this drive a reliable choice for mission-critical applications.
