Deskstar
60GXP Features
The
award-winning IBM Deskstar* family provides industry-leading performance
at 7200 RPM, 494 Mbits/sec internal transfer rates, and 8.5 ms average
seek times- enabling sustained data rates of up to 40 MB/sec.
- Capacities
range from 20 to 60 GB.
- An
Ultra ATA/100 interface optimizes system performance.
- Unique
design attributes enable shock protection to 400 G.
- Reduced
acoustics enable extremely quiet operation at 3.1 Bels.
- Idle
power consumes only 6.7 watts.
Leading
drive technology
The IBM Deskstar 60GXP disk drive combines new and proven technologies
to greatly enhance system performance and capacity--handling a wide range
of advanced desktop and audio/video applications. Features such as low
acoustics, reduced power, and tagged command queuing are ideal for low-cost
routers, entry- level servers, and switches.
Advanced
desktop systems
IBM continues to define state-of-the-art for storage. The high capacities
and fast speeds of IBM Deskstar drives support higher quality digital
audio/video storage, superior digital content creation capabilities, and
significantly faster processing for multimedia and Internet applications.
Technology
for performance
Increased track capacity and servo bandwidth combine with enhanced buffer
throughput to significantly improve performance over the previous generation
IBM drive. A 2 MB buffer uses advanced buffer management and hardware
assisted caching to streamline data transfer. In addition, more servo
pulses help ensure faster and more accurate head positioning to reduce
head settling time. The IBM Deskstar 60GXP also supports Tagged Command
Queuing and Rotational Position Optimization to further enhance throughput
for data-intensive Windows NT** and UNIX** applications.
Technology
for reliability
The industry's highest areal density increases capacity while reducing
component count to improve reliability. Second-generation load/unload
head ramps help protect data from drive mishandling, further enhancing
reliability. In addition, glass media provides a smoother disk surface
and greater rigidity to reduce the impact of shock.
Ceramic spindle bearings and a tri-lamenate top cover reduce acoustics
to just 3.1 Bels--a level that matches or improves upon many 5400 RPM
models. Circuits and motors are also optimized to save power and reduce
system temperature- extending system life and reliability.
Deskstar drives utilize proven IBM technologies such as TrueTrack* servo
and No- ID* sector formatting, as well as IBM Drive Fitness Test* (DFT),
S.M.A.R.T. Self Test, and error logging.
