duty cycle environments, this drive has the highest available reliability rating on a high capacity SATA drive. State-of-the-art technology packs twice the capacity per disk resulting in 300GB of high-performance storage space in this enterprise-class 2.5" drive. The 2.5" WD VelociRaptor is enclosed in a 3.5" enterprise-class mounting frame with a built-in heat sink that keeps this powerful little drive extra cool when installed in high-performance desktop chassis. Rotary Acceleration Feed Forward (RAFF) optimizes operation and performance when the drives are used in vibration-prone, multi-drive chassis. It parks the recording heads off the disk surface during spin up, spin down and when the drive is off. This ensures the recording head never touches the disk surface, resulting in improved long-term reliability and increased drive protection when the chassis is moved.  (less)

are specifically designed and tested for flawless operation in your equipment. Its large capacity and high speed make it the perfect choice for demanding applications. The Caviar offers superior quality and reliability at an affordable price.  (less)

scalability and accessibility are more critical than ever. Enterprise data centers must be online all the time, fulfill requests from numerous users simultaneously, allow for constant growth and expansion and be maintained while in operation. Serial Attached SCSI meets all these demands while providing the highest performance.As the technology evolves, device support will be further enhanced, making it an even more attractive alternative for enterprise users who want a solution far superior and more flexible than any other storage technology. The results of aligning the Serial Attached SCSI and Serial ATA technologies to serve storage users, who need large capacity at a lower cost, will provide even greater choice to the storage industry.  (less)

Actual performance increases will vary depending upon application and configuration. All HP hard drives pass a rigorous qualification process, which ensures that every HP drive is proven to perform in your ProLiant server or workstation. Before final certification, all HP hard drives are provided with HP-unique firmware specifically designed to optimize compatibility and functionality, including support of SMART and Insight Manager.HP received the Gold Idea Award for design excellence for the innovative design of the Hot Pluggable Universal drive carrier. The carrier is praised for both its ergonomics and aesthetics, as well as its many functional enhancements such as the compact design, improved cooling properties and more secure drive mounting for reduced vibration.  (less)
