Overview

The IBM 300 GB 10,000 RPM Ultra320 SCSI Disk Drive (#3578, #1973) for selected IBM p5, OpenPower, and RS/600 systems and the IBM 146.8 GB 15,000 RPM Ultra320 SCSI Disk Drive (#1972) for selected OpenPower systems provide world-class performance with interface speeds of 320 MB/sec when attached to an Ultra-320-capable adapter. The drives are also compatible with earlier, slower SCSI adapters.

The higher SCSI bus data rate along with the 10,000 rpm (for the 300 GB disk drive) or 15,000 rpm (for the 146.8 GB disk drive) spinning speed of the disk platter can greatly improve a system's overall data throughput.

The disk drives' 3.5-inch, 1-inch-high (25-mm) form factor allows them to be placed in dense system configurations.

Key prerequisites
