HP BD0366349C 36.4GB Ultra-160 SCSI 10000 3.5-in Hard Drive

Description

The HP BD0366349C is a 36.4 Gigabyte enterprise-class hard disk drive featuring the Ultra-160 SCSI interface. This interface provides a high-speed, parallel connection designed for demanding server environments, offering superior performance and reliability compared to older SCSI standards or IDE interfaces. The Ultra-160 standard supports a maximum theoretical transfer rate of 160MB/s, making it suitable for applications requiring fast data access. With a rotational speed of 10,000 Revolutions Per Minute (RPM), this drive offers significantly faster seek times and data access compared to slower 7,200 RPM drives. This makes it well-suited for use in servers handling transactional databases, high-traffic web servers, or other applications where quick read/write operations are critical. The 3.5-inch form factor is standard for enterprise server drives, allowing for easy installation into most server chassis. As an enterprise SCSI drive, the BD0366349C is built for continuous operation (24/7) and often includes features like hot-swapping capabilities, allowing drives to be replaced or added without shutting down the server. This enhances system uptime and simplifies maintenance. While its capacity is modest by today's standards, drives like this were essential components in servers of their era, providing a balance of performance, reliability, and capacity for critical business operations.
