HP P4462-63001 72.8GB Ultra-160 SCSI 10000 3.5-in Hard Drive

Description

The HP P4462-63001 is a high-performance enterprise-class hard disk drive offering a capacity of 72.8GB. It utilizes the Ultra-160 SCSI interface, a robust standard for high-speed data transfer in server environments, providing a maximum theoretical throughput of 160MB/s. The drive operates at a rapid 10000 RPM spindle speed, which significantly reduces seek times and improves overall data access performance compared to slower drives. Designed in a standard 3.5-inch form factor, this HDD is suitable for installation in a wide variety of server chassis and storage arrays that support SCSI drives. The Ultra-160 SCSI interface, also known as Fast-40, is a parallel interface that supports LVD (Low Voltage Differential) signaling for enhanced signal integrity and longer cable lengths, as well as SE (Single-Ended) compatibility. The 68-pin connector is standard for this interface. This drive is ideal for applications demanding fast I/O performance and high reliability, such as transaction processing, database servers, and high-performance computing. Its enterprise-grade construction ensures durability and consistent operation under heavy workloads, making it a dependable component for critical storage systems. While newer technologies like SAS and SATA SSDs have become prevalent, Ultra-160 SCSI drives like the P4462-63001 remain relevant in legacy systems or specific high-performance SCSI-based infrastructures.
