IBM 24P3689 18.2Gb Ultra 160 SCSI HDD

This 18.2Gb hard drive operates at 10000 Rpm with an Ultra 160 SCSI interface. It is a hot-pluggable 3.5 inch unit supplied with a tray for compatible IBM systems. The drive suits administrators maintaining legacy storage arrays or servers that require this specific SCSI generation.

Practical limits of the Ultra 160 SCSI interface

The Ultra 160 standard caps burst throughput at 160 MB/s on a 16-bit bus. Cable length is restricted compared with modern serial interfaces and each device requires a unique SCSI ID. Systems without an Ultra 160 controller or backplane cannot use this drive.
