The Ultrastar 9LZX and Ultrastar 18ZX hard disk drives offer exceptional performance with 9.1 gigabytes (low profile) and 18.2 GB of capacity, rotational speeds of up to 10,020 RPM, and average seek times as fast as 5.3 ms. A 4.0 MB buffer also provides outstanding performance, especially for data-intensive applications that access data sequentially.

Other features include IBM Drive-Temperature Indicator Processor (Drive-TIP) technology, advanced MRX head technology, No-ID sector formatting, a powerful custom controller with hardware assist functions, a proven PRML data channel, and industry-leading server drive areal densities of 2024 Mbits/sq.in.

These drives offer support for S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology), IBM Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA), and the IBM-exclusive Drive-TIP, all of which help ensure the maximum possible protection for end user data. Interfaces include Serial Storage Architecture (SSA) and Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FCAL).

Superior performance, reliability, and capacity for workstation, subsystem, and PC and enterprise server applications.
