Hitachi Ultrastar 15K73 - Hard drive - 73.9 GB - standard - 3.5" - Ultra320 SCSI - 15000 rpm
Part Number: 08K2406
Overview
The Hitachi Ultrastar 15K73 is the 3rd generation of 15,000 RPM enterprise-class hard drives from
Hitachi. Leveraging award-winning technologies that have generated proven quality and high-
performance, the Ultrastar 15K73 incorporates Fluid Dynamic Bearing motors (FDB) to contribute to
increased capacity by enabling high-track density through a more precise position of the head. AFC
Media, also known as "pixie dust ", is an industry-first in 15,000 RPM enterprise-class hard drives,
enabling higher areal densities by improving thermal stability, which in turn, maintains data integrity.
Designed for both high-performance and high-reliability, the Ultrastar 15K73 was developed with
powerful processors and read-write channels, advanced servo controls to improve seek and settle times,
and overall improved mechanical stability to excel in today's demanding data-processing environments.
In order to ensure data-protection, the Ultrastar 15K73 incorporates advanced reporting tools such as Self-
Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.) to signal potential drive problems.
Reliability is enhanced with load/unload technology and glass-substrate disks which provide a robust
solution and high rotations speeds.
