Description
Details about Hard Drive
The Maxtor Atlas 8D300L0 300GB 10K RPM Ultra-320 SCSI 68-pin hard drive is a high-performance hard drive that uses the Ultra-320 SCSI interface and has a capacity of 300GB. It has a rotation speed of 10,000 RPM and an 8MB cache. It also features a 68-pin SCSI connector, which is an older standard that was widely used in servers and workstations during the 2000s.
This hard drive is well-suited for use in enterprise storage systems and other high-performance applications that require fast data access and high storage capacity. The fast spindle speed and large cache size provide quick access to data, making it ideal for use in transactional workloads, databases, and other applications that require fast access to data.
It is important to note that this drive uses the Ultra-320 SCSI interface, which is an older standard and may not be supported by newer servers or storage systems. It also uses a 68-pin connector, which is not compatible with newer systems that use the LVD/SE or HVD SCSI interface, so it’s important to check compatibility before purchasing this drive.
Performance and Reliability
The Maxtor Atlas 8D300L0 300GB 10K RPM Ultra-320 SCSI 68-pin hard drive offers high performance for enterprise storage systems and other high-performance applications that require fast data access and high storage capacity. The fast spindle speed of 10,000 RPM and large cache size of 8MB provide quick access to data, making it ideal for use in transactional workloads, databases, and other applications that require fast access to data.
With the Ultra320 SCSI interface, it can transfer data at a rate of 320Mbps, which is faster than the older SCSI standard (Ultra160 SCSI) and the drive can handle up to 15 simultaneous commands at a time.
It’s also important to note that performance will depend on the rest of the system, such as the server’s processor, memory, and storage controller, as well as the specific workloads and usage patterns. Additionally, seek time, disk cache, and other factors also contribute to the overall performance of the hard drive.
High-speed data transfer
The Maxtor Atlas 8D300L0 300GB 10K RPM Ultra-320 SCSI 68-pin hard drive is compatible with servers and storage systems that support the Ultra-320 SCSI interface and have a 68-pin SCSI connector. It’s important to note that this drive uses the Ultra320 SCSI interface, which is an older standard and may not be supported by newer servers or storage systems. It also uses a 68-pin connector, which is not compatible with newer systems that use the LVD/SE or HVD SCSI interface.
It is recommended to check with your hardware vendor or consult the server documentation to ensure compatibility with your specific system before purchasing this hard drive. In general, this drive is compatible with most of the servers and storage systems that support Ultra320 SCSI interface and have a 68-pin SCSI connector, but it’s important to check the firmware compatibility of the drive with the system, as well as any specific cable or power requirements that may be specific to the drive or the system. It’s also important to check the RAID controller compatibility. Some RAID controllers may not support this drive or may require specific firmware or driver versions.
