Expand your computers storage capacity with this High-performance hard drive from IBM. With the advancements of digital cameras, Internet downloads and larger size software having a hard drive to store all your needs is very important. Whether your upgrading your PC or building from scratch the IBM drive will suit your needs.

As the fourth generation of the award-winning IBM Ultrastar 10,000 RPM disk drive family, the IBM Ultrastar 73LZX drives offer proven quality and the latest technological advances, such as more powerful actuator motors, active damping, and leading-edge interfaces.

To achieve maximum I/O performance, these drives combine extremely fast seek times, extra large multisegmented buffers, a sophisticated new command queuing system, hardware automation, and industry-leading sustained data rates. Enhanced suspension and active damping improve write accuracy and reduce data access time.

IBM Ultrastar 10,000 RPM drives employ giant magnetoresistive (GMR) head technology to increase areal density (up to 13.1 Gbits/sq. in.) and performance. In addition, highly efficient No-ID sector formatting enables more data to be stored per disk.

To help ensure the maximum data protection possible, IBM Ultrastar drives include IBM-exclusive reporting tools, such as Predictive Failure Analysis (to alert users about potential drive problems) and Drive-TIP (to monitor drive temperatures and avoid malfunctions).

Reliability is further enhanced through load/unload technology, glass substrate disks, and active damping, which stabilizes head movement even under extreme conditions. Together, these technologies provide a more robust solution at high RPMs. In addition, IBM Ultrastar drives have fewer components than other drives, a factor that reduces the possibility of component failure.

An efficient electronic design enables low power requirements for 10,000 RPM drives. Enhanced power standby modes are triggered by read/write inactivity to minimize power use and are available only with load/unload technology, an exclusive on the IBM Ultrastar drives.

The IBM 73LZX Ultrastar drives provides the high data throughput required by storage management, Internet, multimedia, and other data-intensive applications.
