Capacity and performance leadership with proven quality

IBM Deskstar 120GXP hard disk drives

The Deskstar 120GXP incorporates both new and proven technologies to boost system performance. This drive provides the capacity and performance to handle a wide range of advanced desktop and audio/video applications. Additionally, features such as low acoustics, low power, and Tagged Command Queuing make this drive ideal for non-PC, high perfor-

and better reliability. The superior areal density combines with the faster processor and streamlined cache buffer to enable award-winning performance for both the Deskstar and your system. Enhancements to the servo system and thermal monitor help to enable accurate data storage and retrieval. Deskstar 120GXP matches the drive capacity and performance guidelines for Microsoft Windows XP40GB minimum and 7 ,200rpm.

Highlights
Provides industry-leading performance at 7,200rpm, 592Mbits/sec internal transfer rate, and 8.5ms average seek time. These combine to enable leading sustained data rate of up to 48MB/sec Capacities range from up to 40GB to 120GB. This increases disk capacity by 100 percent over previous generation Thermal monitor helps provide accurate data writes and reads over the full system temperature range Meets PC Design Checklist for Windows XP

mance, special applications.

Technology for capacity and performance

Antiferromagnetically coupled (AFC) media enables higher capacities per square inch of data surface. Glass disks provide smoother media for the ever-shrinking bit size. Three-disk design provides leading 120GB capacity at 7,200rpm. IBM-designed onboard processor provides faster speeds than the previous generation. Advanced buffer management bursts data to the system at up to 100MB/sec. Enhanced servo system provides reliable head positioning.

Technology for reliability

Load/unload head ramps Glass media Ceramic spindle motor bearings Differential read channel Internal thermal monitor Drive Fitness Test (DFT) S.M.A.R.T Self Test

These combined technologies enable popular capacity points and are also designed to increase reliability. Deskstar drives continue to utilize proven IBM technology such as TrueTrack servo and No-ID sector formatting .

AFC and glass disk technologies enable increased areal density. Thus, the Deskstar provides the necessary capacities using fewer heads and disks, which means fewer components
