IBM 00AJ300 Internal Hard Drive Data Storage

Data storage capacity and performance requirements are increasing for businesses of all sizes. While conventional 15,000 rpm hard disk drives (HDDs) can meet capacity and performance requirements, hybrid HDDs offer accelerated performance by using integrated NAND flash to cache data. In certain environments, such as those with high random read and high data locality (hot data), hybrid drives can provide improved performance over conventional HDDs.

Features and functions:

- 6 Gbps hot-swap and simple-swap SAS for optimal performance and system availability
