In the world of computer hardware, hard disk drives are an essential component that stores digital data in a non-volatile manner. The IBM 81Y9788 is a hard disk drive that has a storage capacity of 500GB and operates at a speed of 7200 revolutions per minute (RPM). In this article, we will provide a detailed explanation of the IBM 81Y9788, focusing on its features and specifications.
Storage CapacityThe IBM 81Y9788 has a storage capacity of 500GB. This means that it can store up to 500 gigabytes of digital data, which is equivalent to around 100,000 MP3 songs or 160 hours of high-definition video. The storage capacity is an important consideration when selecting a hard disk drive, as it determines the amount of data that can be stored on the drive.
Rotation SpeedThe IBM 81Y9788 operates at a speed of 7200 RPM. RPM refers to the number of revolutions per minute that the disk platters inside the hard disk drive spin. The higher the RPM, the faster the data can be read and written to the hard disk drive. This makes the IBM 81Y9788 a suitable choice for applications that require high-speed data transfer, such as video editing and gaming.
InterfaceThe IBM 81Y9788 uses a Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) interface, which is a type of connection that allows the hard disk drive to communicate with the computer's motherboard. The SATA interface has evolved over the years, with the IBM 81Y9788 supporting the latest version, which is SATA 6Gbps. This allows for faster data transfer rates, making the hard disk drive ideal for applications that require high-speed data transfer.
Form FactorThe IBM 81Y9788 has a 3.5-inch form factor, which is a standard size for desktop hard disk drives. The form factor refers to the physical size and shape of the hard disk drive. The 3.5-inch form factor is larger than the 2.5-inch form factor commonly used in laptop hard disk drives. The larger size allows for more platters and higher storage capacities.
Hot SwapThe IBM 81Y9788 has a hot swap capability, which means that it can be removed or inserted into a computer without shutting down the system. This is particularly useful in environments where downtime must be minimized. For example, in a server environment, a failed hard disk drive can be quickly replaced without interrupting the operation of the server.
G2The IBM 81Y9788 is part of the G2 series of hard disk drives. The G2 series is a generation of hard disk drives that has been designed for reliability and performance. The G2 series uses advanced technology to provide enhanced data protection and faster data transfer rates.
CompatibilityThe IBM 81Y9788 is compatible with a range of IBM System x servers and other systems that support SATA hard disk drives. It is important to check the compatibility of the hard disk drive with the computer system before purchasing.
In summary, the IBM 81Y9788 is a hard disk drive with a storage capacity of 500GB, a speed of 7200 RPM, and a SATA 6Gbps interface. It has a 3.5-inch form factor and supports hot swap. It is part of the G2 series of hard disk drives and is compatible with a range of IBM System x servers and other systems that support SATA hard disk drives. The IBM 81Y9788 is a reliable and high-performance hard disk drive that is suitable for a range of applications that require high-speed data transfer and large storage capacities.
