Description
Overview to 500GB Hot Swap Hard Drive
The 00AD036 IBM 500GB 7200RPM SATA 6GBPS 2.5inch Gen2 Hot Swap Nearline Hard Drive is a type of computer storage device that is designed to be easily replaceable and accessible for users. It is a hard disk drive that has a storage capacity of 500 gigabytes (GB) and rotates at 7200 revolutions per minute (RPM). It uses the Serial ATA (SATA) interface technology and operates at a speed of 6 gigabytes per second (Gbps). The drive is also designed to be hot-swappable, meaning that it can be removed and replaced while the computer is still running without causing any damage to the system.
2.5-inch Form Factor
The 00AD036 IBM 500GB 7200RPM SATA 6GBPS 2.5inch Gen2 Hot Swap Nearline Hard Drive has a 2.5-inch form factor, which refers to the physical size and shape of the drive. This size is commonly used in laptops and other portable devices, as it is more compact than the larger 3.5-inch form factor used in desktop computers. The smaller size allows for greater portability and flexibility in device design.
SATA InterfaceTechnology
The drive uses the Serial ATA (SATA) interface technology, which is a popular standard for connecting storage devices to a computer’s motherboard. SATA is designed to provide faster data transfer speeds, improved reliability, and easier installation compared to older interfaces such as IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) and SCSI (Small Computer System Interface). The 6 Gbps speed of the 00AD036 IBM 500GB 7200RPM SATA 6GBPS 2.5inch Gen2 Hot Swap Nearline Hard Drive is the maximum transfer rate supported by SATA III, the current version of the SATA standard.
7200 RPM Rotational Speed
The 00AD036 IBM 500GB 7200RPM SATA 6GBPS 2.5inch Gen2 Hot Swap Nearline Hard Drive rotates at a speed of 7200 RPM. This refers to the number of revolutions per minute that the drive’s platters, which store the data, spin around. A faster rotational speed generally results in faster read and write speeds, but also generates more heat and noise. The 7200 RPM speed of this drive is considered to be a good balance between performance and noise/heat generation.
500GB Storage Capacity
The 00AD036 IBM 500GB 7200RPM SATA 6GBPS 2.5inch Gen2 Hot Swap Nearline Hard Drive has a storage capacity of 500GB. This is a measure of how much data the drive can hold, and is typically measured in gigabytes (GB) or terabytes (TB). 500GB is a relatively large amount of storage, and is suitable for storing a variety of files including documents, photos, music, and videos.
Hot Swappable Design
The drive is designed to be hot-swappable, which means that it can be removed and replaced while the computer is still running. This is a useful feature for servers and other mission-critical systems, as it allows for easy replacement of faulty drives without shutting down the entire system. The hot-swappable design of the 00AD036 IBM 500GB 7200RPM SATA 6GBPS 2.5inch Gen2 Hot Swap Nearline Hard Drive makes it a good choice for businesses and organizations that require high levels of reliability and uptime.
