Product Description

The IBM 07N8180 is a 3.5-inch internal hard disk drive with a storage capacity of 61.4 Gigabytes. It utilizes the IDE Ultra ATA/100 interface, also known as ATA-6, which was a prevalent standard for connecting storage devices in computer systems of its time. This interface supports data transfer rates of up to 100 Megabytes per second, providing adequate performance for the era. Featuring a spindle speed of 7200 Revolutions Per Minute (RPM), this drive offers enhanced data access speeds and throughput compared to lower-speed drives. The 2MB buffer cache aids in improving performance by storing frequently accessed data, thereby reducing the seek time required by the drive's read/write heads. This hard drive is intended for installation in desktop computers, workstations, or servers that are equipped with IDE interfaces. While its capacity is considered small by modern standards, it serves as a functional component for maintaining, repairing, or upgrading older systems that rely on IDE storage technology. The 07N8180 provides a dependable storage solution for legacy hardware configurations.
