SKU CH-KCNX-VFP5K

36GB 10000RPM Ultra320 SCSI 3.5" internal hard drive for enterprise servers

  • 36 GB capacity stores critical server data
  • 10000 RPM spindle speed accelerates transaction workloads
  • Ultra320 SCSI interface delivers 320 MB/s throughput
  • 5 inch form factor fits standard drive bays
  • New condition ensures full manufacturer reliability

Capacity and interface

This is a 36GB 3.5 inch internal hard drive with a 10000RPM spindle speed. It uses the Ultra320 SCSI interface for connection to compatible servers or workstations. The drive is supplied in new condition.

Suitable systems and limitations

It suits administrators maintaining legacy IBM X Series servers that require a 3.5 inch Ultra320 SCSI drive with a 36GB capacity. It is not for systems lacking a 3.5 inch Ultra320 SCSI backplane or controller, nor for users needing capacities beyond 36GB.

Deciding specification

The interface is 3.5 inch SCSI Ultra320; the drive only works with controllers and backplanes that support this exact standard. Verify your system documentation for Ultra320 SCSI compatibility before purchase.

Questions about this item

At what sustained transfer rate does the 320 MB/s Ultra320 interface become the bottleneck?

The Ultra320 SCSI interface caps sustained throughput at 320 MB/s, so the drive cannot exceed that limit under continuous load.

How much heat and noise does the 10000 RPM mechanism produce during all-day operation?

The 10000 RPM spindle and 2.0 lb chassis generate noticeable heat and audible seek noise, requiring active airflow in the 3.5" bay.

Which host adapter and cable does the 80-pin SCA connector need to work?

An Ultra320 SCSI host adapter with a matching 80-pin SCA backplane or cable is required for the drive to function.
