IBM 26K5573 – 73.4GB 10K RPM U320 SCSI DDR

Detailed Description:

The IBM 26K5573 is a highly reliable and performant hard disk drive, specifically designed for use in servers and high-end storage systems. It offers a storage capacity of 73.4GB, which, while not the highest available, provides enough space for critical system files, applications, and data sets that require rapid access. Operating at a spindle speed of 10,000 RPM, the drive ensures quick data retrieval and transfer, thereby enhancing overall system responsiveness and throughput. It employs the Ultra320 SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) protocol, noted for its high bandwidth and reliability, which allows for faster data transactions and compatibility with a range of enterprise storage systems. Additionally, its support for DDR (Double Data Rate) technology implies that it can handle twice the amount of data per clock cycle compared to non-DDR drives, further boosting performance. The IBM 26K5573 combines robust performance with reliability, making it an ideal solution for mission-critical environments that demand high data availability and throughput.
