Description
Product Overview of IBM 81Y9726
81Y9726 is the model number for the IBM 500GB 7.2KRPM SATA 6GBPS Hot Swap 2.5 Inch Internal Hard Disk Drive. This device is designed for use in a variety of applications, from small business servers to large-scale data centers. In this article, we will provide a detailed overview of the specifications and features of this hard disk drive.
SATA and 6GBPS
SATA, or Serial Advanced Technology Attachment, is a type of interface that allows for the transfer of data between a hard disk drive and a computer system. This interface has become the standard for most modern hard drives, due to its fast transfer speeds and ease of use.
The 81Y9726 IBM hard disk drive features a SATA 6Gbps interface, which means that it is capable of transferring data at speeds of up to 6 gigabits per second. This interface is also backwards compatible with older versions of SATA, so it can be used with older computers or servers that may not support the latest technology.
500GB Capacity
The 81Y9726 IBM hard disk drive has a total capacity of 500GB, which is a significant amount of storage for most applications. This capacity is sufficient for storing large amounts of data, including operating systems, applications, and user data.
7.2KRPM Speed
The speed of a hard disk drive is measured in RPM, or revolutions per minute. The 81Y9726 IBM hard disk drive has a speed of 7.2KRPM, which means that the disk inside the drive rotates at a speed of 7,200 revolutions per minute.
This high speed allows the drive to access data quickly, which is important for applications that require fast access to data. The 7.2KRPM speed is also a standard for most modern hard disk drives, and is sufficient for most applications.
2.5 Inch Form Factor
The 81Y9726 IBM hard disk drive has a form factor of 2.5 inches, which is a standard size for laptop hard disk drives. This size is smaller than the standard 3.5 inch form factor used for desktop hard drives, and allows for more compact designs for servers and other computing systems.
Hot Swap Capability
The 81Y9726 IBM hard disk drive is designed with hot swap capability, which means that it can be removed or inserted while the system is running. This feature allows for easy replacement of hard disk drives in a system, without the need to shut down the entire system.
This feature is particularly useful in server environments, where uptime is critical and downtime can be costly. With hot swap capability, hard disk drives can be replaced quickly and easily, without interrupting the operation of the server.
In summary, the 81Y9726 IBM 500GB 7.2KRPM SATA 6GBPS Hot Swap 2.5 Inch Internal Hard Disk Drive is a high-performance, reliable, and flexible storage solution for a variety of applications. Its SATA 6Gbps interface, 500GB capacity, 7.2KRPM speed, 2.5 inch form factor, and hot swap capability make it an ideal choice for small business servers, large-scale data centers, and other computing systems.
