HP Surestore 9 GB

HP Surestore 9 GB ... unparalleled quality and reliability. As modular drives, Hewlett Packard's Rack n Stack drives are faster and easier to install than internal drives. Because of this, you can use them to store sensitive data and then lock them in a safe while they aren't in use. Or you can copy large files or databases to them and take them home with you or to remote offices.

This hard drive module features a Wide Ultra2 SCSI interface with a Low Voltage Differential connection. If you are looking for a high performance storage solution, SCSI is the answer. With SCSI, intelligence is built-in to the drive; the SCSI cable acts as its own data transfer bus, bypassing the system bus, and limiting CPU overhead. As a result, SCSI drives offer markedly lower access times, multi-threaded I/O, and lower CPU utilization than their IDE counterparts. In fact, if you are using an IDE solution now, the easiest way to increase performance is to upgrade to SCSI storage.
