High capacity and performance for demanding server environments

IBM Ultrastar 73LZX hard disk drive

Highlights

Rotational speeds of 10,000 RPM and average seek times as low as 4.9 ms help boost performance.

Capacities including 73, 36, 18, and 9 GB provide outstanding configuration flexibility.

A new suspension feature and Drive Fitness Test combine with load/unload technology and glass substrate disks to enhance reliability and robustness, and prolong drive lifetime.

Advanced drive technology

The fifth generation of the award-winning IBM Ultrastar* 10,000 RPM disk drive family, IBM Ultrastar 73LZX drives offer proven quality and superior performance. These drives feature more powerful processors and read/write channels, a new feed-forward servo control that improves seek and settle time, and better suspension dynamics that enable greater servo bandwidth, faster speeds, and improved mechanical stability.

To achieve maximum I/O performance, the drives combine fast seek times, large 4 MB multisegmented buffers, a sophisticated command queuing system, hardware automation, and industryleading sustained data rates. They also employ fifth-generation giant magnetoresistive (GMR) head technology to double areal density (up to13.1 Gbits/sq.in.) and performance.In addition, highly efficient No-ID* sector formatting enables more data to be stored per disk.

Reliability leadership

Drive Fitness Test enables drive self-testing and analysis—helping to prevent returned drives.To help ensure data protection, IBM Ultrastar drives include IBM-exclusive reporting tools, such as Predictive Failure Analysis* (to signal potential drive problems) and Drive-TIP* (to monitor drives and avoid malfunctions).

Load/unload technology and glass substrate disks also increase reliability by providing a more robust solution at high rotational speeds.

Outstanding environmentals

IBM Ultrastar drives provide extremely quiet operation. In addition, tri-laminate drive covers reduce both idle and seek acoustics while an improved spindle motor driver enables smoother commutation.Moreover,a new electronic design enables 20 percent lower power requirements than previous IBM 10,000 RPM drives to help reduce costs.

Support for advanced applications and interfaces

IBM Ultrastar drives provide high data throughput for data-intensive applications and offer a choice of 1 and 2 Gbit Fibre Channel and Ultra160 SCSI (backward-compatible) interfaces.
