Hitachi Ultrastar 73LZX 18.3 GB

Hitachi Ultrastar 73LZX 18.3 GB ... superior performance. These drives feature more powerful processors and read/write channels, a new feed-forward servo control that improves seek and settle time, and better suspension dynamics that enable greater servo bandwidth, faster speeds, and improved mechanical stability.

To achieve maximum I/O performance, the drives combine fast seek times, large 4 MB multisegmented buffers, a sophisticated command queuing system, hardware automation, and industry-leading sustained data rates. They also employ fifth-generation giant magneto-resistive (GMR) head technology to double areal density (up to 13.1 Gbits/sq. in.) and performance.
