IBM IC35L040AVVA07 40GB IDE Ultra ATA/100 7200 3.5-inch 2MB Hard Drive

Product Description

The IBM IC35L040AVVA07 hard drive offers a substantial 40GB of storage capacity, making it suitable for a variety of computing needs where ample space is required. Its integration of the Ultra ATA/100 interface ensures a high data transfer rate, significantly improving the speed at which data can be read from or written to the drive compared to older IDE standards. With a spindle speed of 7200 revolutions per minute (RPM), this drive provides rapid access to data, which is crucial for operating system performance, application loading times, and overall system responsiveness. The 3.5-inch form factor is standard for desktop computers and servers, ensuring broad compatibility with most chassis and drive bays. The inclusion of a 2MB buffer memory further optimizes performance by temporarily storing frequently accessed data, reducing the need for the drive to constantly seek data on the platters. This combination of capacity, interface speed, rotational speed, and buffer size makes the IC35L040AVVA07 a robust and efficient storage solution for its era.
