HP BD0096349A 9.1GB Ultra-160 SCSI 10000 3.5-in Hard Drive

Description

The HP BD0096349A is an enterprise-class hard disk drive (HDD) offering a storage capacity of 9.1 Gigabytes. It utilizes the Ultra-160 SCSI interface, which provides a high-speed data transfer pathway capable of supporting demanding server and workstation environments. The drive spins at a rapid 10,000 Revolutions Per Minute (RPM), significantly reducing seek times and improving overall read/write performance compared to slower drives. This combination of interface speed and rotational velocity makes it suitable for applications requiring quick access to data. Designed in a standard 3.5-inch form factor, this drive is compatible with a wide range of server chassis and storage arrays that support this size. The Ultra-160 SCSI standard offers a theoretical maximum throughput of 160 MB/s, ensuring efficient data movement for intensive workloads. Enterprise drives like the BD0096349A are built with higher reliability and durability in mind, often featuring enhanced error correction, vibration tolerance, and support for hot-swapping, allowing drives to be replaced or added without shutting down the system. This particular model is well-suited for use in servers, high-performance workstations, or storage systems where data integrity and speed are paramount. Its relatively small capacity by modern standards indicates it might be used in older systems or for specific roles such as boot drives or caching where capacity is less critical than performance and reliability. The HP branding ensures it meets the quality and compatibility standards expected for HP server environments.
