_______________
AN OEM OFFERING FROM IBM
This family of drives brings IBM's industry-leading
Magneto-Resistive head technology to the desktop computer
marketplace, offering superior performance and outstanding
reliability. IBM's well-proven advanced head and disk
technology delivers higher capacities--up to 365 MB per
disk on these models--with fewer components.
Today's desktop PC users are demanding more performance
and higher capacities to effectively manage database,
spreadsheet, desktop publishing, and graphic applications
in multitasking environments. The mainstream market is
embracing 540 MB and larger disk drives at an accelerating
pace. IBM is already there with this family of drives.
The higher areal density (358 b/sq in) gives a higher
average data rate with reduced "tail-off" on the inner
bands.
These 3.5" drives spin at 4500 RPM and operate at an average
access time of 12 ms. The high linear recording density
provides an outstanding minimum sustained data rate of
2.5 MB/sec. Performance is further enhanced by a 128 KB
segmented buffer (256 KB option) with write cache and read
look-ahead.
The drives are available with either ATA-2 (11.1 MB/sec)
or Fast SCSI-2 (10.0 MB/sec) interfaces. The AT* drives
support LBA mode and extended cylinder addressing in
addition to low power dissipation, AT and SCSI power
management commands for "Green PC" applications are also
supported.
QUALITY AND RELIABILITY
In line with IBM's outstanding commitment to quality,
reliability is again improved to over 300,000 power-on
hours MTBF.
These drives undergo extensive testing to ensure
compatibility across a broad spectrum of hardware platforms
and operating systems.
