The IBM 81Y9738 is a hard disk drive (HDD) that is designed to be simple to swap and remove from a computer. It has a storage capacity of 500GB and spins at a rate of 7200 RPM (revolutions per minute). This article will explain the features of this HDD, how it connects to a computer, and what makes it a useful addition to a computer system.
SATA 6GBPSThe IBM 81Y9738 uses the Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) interface, which is a standard for connecting storage devices to a computer. SATA 6Gbps is the latest version of the SATA standard, and it allows for data transfer rates of up to 6 gigabits per second (Gbps). This means that data can be transferred to and from the HDD quickly, which is important for applications that require high-speed data access.
2.5-inch SFF Form FactorThe IBM 81Y9738 is a Small Form Factor (SFF) hard drive, which means it is designed to be smaller than a standard desktop HDD. The 2.5-inch form factor is commonly used in laptops and other compact devices. This smaller size allows for more efficient use of space in a computer and makes it easier to transport the HDD between devices.
Simple Swap DesignThe IBM 81Y9738 is designed to be simple to swap and remove from a computer. This is important in situations where the HDD needs to be replaced or upgraded. The Simple-Swap design allows for the HDD to be easily removed from the computer without the need for special tools or equipment. This makes it a useful feature for IT professionals who need to quickly replace or upgrade HDDs in a large number of computers.
500GB Storage CapacityThe IBM 81Y9738 has a storage capacity of 500GB, which is enough to store a large amount of data. This makes it a useful addition to a computer system for tasks such as data storage, backup, and retrieval. The 500GB capacity is also sufficient for running applications that require a large amount of storage space, such as video editing software.
7200 RPM Spindle SpeedThe spindle speed of an HDD refers to how fast the disk spins when it is in use. The IBM 81Y9738 has a spindle speed of 7200 RPM, which is a relatively high speed for an HDD. This means that data can be accessed quickly from the disk, which is important for applications that require high-speed data access. The high spindle speed also makes the HDD more reliable, as it reduces the chances of data corruption or loss.
Overall, the IBM 81Y9738 is a hard disk drive that is designed to be simple to swap and remove from a computer. It has a storage capacity of 500GB and spins at a rate of 7200 RPM. The SATA 6Gbps interface allows for high-speed data transfer, while the 2.5-inch SFF form factor makes it a useful addition to laptops and other compact devices. The Simple-Swap design makes it easy to replace or upgrade the HDD, which is useful for IT professionals. Overall, the IBM 81Y9738 is a reliable and efficient storage solution for a wide range of applications.
