Description
Interface
The 404670-003 HP 72.8GB 10K RPM Ultra-320 SCSI 80-pin LVD Hot Swap Internal Hard Drive features an Ultra320 SCSI interface that supports a data transfer rate of up to 320MB/s and uses an 80-pin LVD (Low Voltage Differential) connector.
SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) is a high-performance, parallel interface designed for use in enterprise and data center environments. It allows for faster data transfer rates and increased scalability compared to older parallel interfaces such as IDE. The Ultra320 SCSI standard is an improved version of SCSI that supports faster data transfer rates and improved cable lengths.
The drive is designed to connect to a SCSI host controller, which then connects to the host system. The host controller provides the necessary logic and control to communicate with the drive and enables the host system to access the data stored on the drive. The 80-pin LVD connector is used to connect the drive to the host controller and provides power and data transfer between the drive and the host controller.
This interface and connector are suitable for use in high-performance and demanding enterprise environments, where fast data transfer rates and high scalability are critical.
High-speed data transfer
The 404670-003 HP 72.8GB 10K RPM Ultra-320 SCSI 80-pin LVD Hot Swap Internal Hard Drive is designed to provide high performance in enterprise and data center environments. It has a rotation speed of 10,000 RPM, which allows for faster data access and transfer speeds, making it ideal for applications that require quick access to large amounts of data.
Additionally, it features an Ultra320 SCSI interface that supports a data transfer rate of up to 320MB/s, which is faster than the older SCSI standards and allows for a faster data transfer rate between the drive and the host system. The drive also has a large buffer size of 8MB, which serves as a temporary storage area that helps to improve the drive’s performance by allowing the drive to quickly access frequently used data.
The drive also includes advanced error correction and data protection features such as RAFF technology, advanced power management, and vibration protection, which improve overall drive reliability.
Scalability
The 404670-003 HP 72.8GB 10K RPM Ultra-320 SCSI 80-pin LVD Hot Swap Internal Hard Drive is compatible with a wide range of servers and storage systems that support Ultra320 SCSI interface and 80-pin LVD connectors. This drive is compatible with HP ProLiant servers, HP StorageWorks arrays, and other non-HP servers and storage systems that support Ultra320 SCSI interface and 80-pin LVD connectors.
It’s important to check the compatibility of this drive with your specific server or storage system model before purchasing, as not all systems may support this drive’s interface or may have different form factor. It’s also recommended to check for any firmware updates that may be required for the drive to work properly with your system.
It’s also important to check the compatibility of the drive’s Ultra320 SCSI interface version with the host controller, as well as the drive’s firmware version with the host system’s firmware. This can help to ensure the best performance and compatibility.
It’s also recommended to check the drive’s power and cooling requirements to ensure that your system can provide the necessary power and cooling for the drive to function properly. Additionally, it’s important to check the cable length and connection of the drive to ensure compatibility with your system, since the drive requires a specific cable length and connection to function properly.
