73, 36 and 18 Gbytes • 15K RPM • Ultra320 SCSI, 2 Gbit/sec Fibre Channel

• Economies of speed: Fewer drives are needed to deliver the same level of IOPS 

as 10K-RPM drives, leading to greater overall system reliability and savings on 
hardware, space, power, cooling, and IT administration costs, making this the 
lowest cost-per-I/O hard drive.
