Hitachi Ultrastar 10K300 hard disk drives:

The world's first 300GB enterprise hard disk drive - massive capacity for mission-critical applications

Overview: 

The Ultrastar 10K300 offers the lowest total cost of ownership enterprise solution in the industry. At double the capacity of previous generations, the new Ultrastar drive enables mission-critical configurations utilizing fewer systems for equivalent capacity and performance, requiring less power to run those systems, and fewer people to manage them. A mature drive design means higher quality and less downtime for repairs.

Highlights:

• Proven drive design for superior quality and reliability
• 10,000 RPM rotational speed for outstanding performance
• Full range of capacities from an industry-leading 300GB offers enterprise customers configuration flexibility and case of integration
• Ultra320 SCSI and 2Gb/s Fibre Channel supports high data throughput

Applications

• Online transaction processing
• RAID
• Storage Area Network(SAN)
• Network Attached Storage (NAS)
• Scientific engineering and data analysis
• Imaging systems
• Media streaming
• Data warehousing
