Highlights
Three-disk design provides higher capacity with 180GB at
7200rpm performance
The 8MB buffer enables faster data processing, especially for
long block transfers.
Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) motors enhance idle and
operating acoustic operation
Thermal monitor helps provide accurate data read/write over the
full system temperature range
Differential read channel enhances data reliability
