World Wide — Version 21 — May 9, 2002

A wide variety of rigorously tested, Compaq-qualified, SMART capable, Wide Ultra3 SCSI Hard Drives offering data integrity and availability in hot

pluggable and non-pluggable models.  Compaq 15,000 rpm Hard Drives provide up to 26 percent better performance over standard 10,000 rpm drives.

Actual performance increases will vary depending upon application and configuration.

All Compaq hard drives pass a rigorous qualification process, which ensures that every Compaq drive is proven to perform in your Compaq server or

workstation. Before final certification, all Compaq hard drives are provided with Compaq-unique firmware specifically designed to optimize compatibility

and functionality, including support of SMART and the Compaq Insight Manager™.

Compaq received the 1999 Gold Idea Award for design excellence for the innovative design of the Hot Pluggable Universal drive carrier. The new carrier

is praised for both its ergonomics and aesthetics, as well as its many functional enhancements such as the compact design, improved cooling properties,

and more secure drive mounting for reduced vibration.

Today’s distributed enterprise is seeing larger, more complex applications, an increase of mission-critical data moving to the server, increasing demand

for transaction processing and critical server consolidation. In this environment, storage has become a critical component of the information system,

significantly defining both the systems reliability and performance. This is why Compaq drives undergo an intense qualification process that eliminates

data integrity problems, firmware and O/S incompatibilities and other causes of data corruption or premature failure. All drive firmware is specific to our

drives and is designed to maximize both functionality and compatibility. All drives are proven to perform in the Compaq systems for which they were

designed.

Only those drives whose performance is suitable for an enterprise environment are selected through the Compaq qualification process and are labeled

“best-in-class.” All our drives are proven to be reliable and tuned for optimum performance in the Compaq equipment for which they were designed.

When used in conjunction with a SMART Array Controller and Compaq Insight Manager, the SMART capable firmware in Compaq hard drives enables

extensive fault prediction capabilities. If potential problems develop in one of the drives, the SMART Array Controller, Compaq Insight Manager and/or

SMART hard disk drive lets you know in advance so you can have the drive replaced, before it fails, under the Compaq Pre-Failure Warranty.

Note:  All drives are protected by a Pre-Failure Warranty when used with a Compaq array controller (SMART or SMART-2) and Compaq Insight Manager,

allowing hard drives to be replaced before failure free of charge. In addition, all drives are covered by a three-year limited on-site warranty, or the

remaining warranty of the Compaq CPU in which it is installed (up to three years).

Many issues customers have with third party drives are “simple” integration issues. When buying from another supplier, there is no guarantee that a drive

has been correctly set for proper operation with Compaq servers and storage systems. These incompatibilities can create problems in configuration, can

rob your system of performance, or at their worst, can cause you to lose data. Compaq hard drives are specifically designed and tested for flawless

operation in your Compaq equipment. The integration of hard drives in Compaq systems means that cables, SCSI ID settings, termination, hot plug drive

trays and firmware are right for your Compaq server or storage system.
