MAP 36.7GB Hard Drive (SCSI Ultra 320, 10000 RPM, 8MB)

Technology ownership enables the Fujitsu group to control every aspect of the product, including initial design, key components, critical processes, final assembly and test. The Fujitsu group's expertise in key components and strong commitment to excellence work together to produce products that deliver not only outstanding performance and reliability, but also low overall cost of ownership. Higher areal density improves reliability by reducing the total number of platters and read/write heads (moving parts) required to achieve a given capacity. Additional benefits to lower head and platter counts include improved performance and reductions in power consumption, acoustic noise, and cost per MB. The Mean-Time-Between-Failure (MTBF) specification of 1,200,000 hours results in long term reliable operation. The MAP series disk drives provide outstanding storage performance for computing platforms such as workstations, network file servers and enterprise servers. A rotation speed of 10,025 RPM reduces the average rotational latency to 2.99 ms. Minimizing rotational latency and seek times are the key factors that improve system response time in demanding transaction processing applications such as banking, POS and/or reservation systems. The MAP series disk drives achieve an amazing 107MB/s peak internal data transfer rate, providing a superior solution for the most demanding digital audio/video applications such as non-linear editing and playback systems. Through the commitment in research and development, the Fujitsu group has gained critical insights and expertise on the core components required for next-generation drive technology.
