IBM 73.4 GB Ultra320 SCSI Drive

This new IBM MAX3073NC is a 3.5 inch internal hard drive with a 73.4 GB capacity. It spins at 15000 RPM and uses the Ultra320 SCSI interface with an 8 MB buffer. The unit includes a hot-swap caddy for compatible bays.

Suits legacy servers needing U320 storage

This drive fits systems built for 3.5 inch Ultra320 SCSI hot-swap bays. It is not for buyers who need larger capacities or modern interfaces. It will not work in systems lacking a native Ultra320 SCSI host adapter.

The Ultra320 SCSI interface decides fit

The drive connects only through a 3.5 inch Ultra320 SCSI interface. Verify that your controller and backplane support this exact standard before purchase. No adapter can convert this drive to a different protocol.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 3.5" SCSI Ultra320 drive with the included caddy into a hot-swap bay?

Slide the drive into the supplied caddy until the connector engages the backplane, then insert the assembly into the hot-swap bay until the latch clicks; the step often missed is securing the caddy latch fully so the drive seats on the Ultra320 interface.

What maintenance or replacement will the 15000RPM 73.4GB SCSI drive need over time?

Plan to replace the drive once its SMART reallocated-sector count rises or after the rated annualised failure rate for 15K SCSI mechanisms is exceeded; no user-serviceable parts exist inside the sealed helium-free housing.

What limit appears first when the 8MB buffer 15K Ultra320 drive runs sustained writes?

The 8MB cache fills quickly, so sustained throughput drops to the native media transfer rate once the buffer is exhausted, making the cache size the first bottleneck under continuous write workloads.
