IBM Deskstar 180GXP 180 GB

IBM Deskstar 180GXP 180 GB ... performance required to handle a wide range of advanced desktop and audio/video applications.

IBM has standardized features in their desktop drives to supply lower acoustics, faster transfer rates and low-power utilization to make the Deskstar 180GXP drive ideal for non-PC, high-performance computing requirements. The superior areal density combines with the faster processor and streamlined cache buffer to enable award-winning performance for both the Deskstar hard drive and your system. Enhancements to the servo system and thermal monitor help to enable accurate data storage and retrieval. Combined together, these technologies enable popular capacity points and are designed to increase reliability. Fluid Dynamic Bearing motors provide improved acoustics over traditional ball-bearing spindle motors. FDB motors will continue to be used more frequently in hard disk drive designs, particularly in applications requiring very high spindle speeds, high areal densities, and low acoustic noise.
