Features and Benefi ts
Feature / Function Benefi ts
Reliability Mature drive design Lower total cost of ownership
SCSI protocol User controllable error recovery
S.M.A.R.T. technology Early warning error detection
Performance 10,000 RPM Reduced latency for faster access to data
Rotational Positioning Optimization Increased data throughput
Rotational Vibration Safeguard (RVS) Improved system robustness in multi-drive systems
Highly optimized Voice Coil Motor Faster access to data
Capacity 300GB, 147GB & 73GB Configuration flexibility and ease of integration
Interfaces Ultra320 SCSI (68 and 80 pin) Configuration flexibility for a broad range of
2Gb/s Fibre Channel system environments
Lowest total cost of ownership
The Ultrastar™ 10K300 offers the lowest total cost of ownership enterprise solution in the
industry. At double the capacity of previous generations, the new Ultrastar drive enables
mission-critical confi gurations utilizing fewer systems for equivalent capacity and performance,
requiring less power to run those systems, and fewer people to manage them. A mature drive
design means higher quality and less downtime for repairs.
