Insist on a high-performance storage solution that complements your IBM ThinkCentre desktop system's performance. Serial ATA is a storage interface for the latest computing platforms.

Features & Benefits:

• The new Serial ATA interface offers data transfer speeds up to 50% faster than the current parallel ATA interface:
- Data rates up to 150MB/sec
- High performance 7200rpm rotational speed
• Improved cabling:
- Eliminates the current 18-inch (46cm) cable length limitation
- Thinner cable improves cable routing and airflow through the system
• Point-to-Point connections eliminate the need for Master/Slave settings on drives, simplifying installation
• Superior end-to-end error checking over Parallel ATA helps increase data integrity
• Includes Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.) which helps to predict and warn of some impending drive failures
• Ontrack Disk Manager software is included, which prepares the drive for use, migrates data from older, slower drives, and overcomes legacy hardware, BIOS, and operating system problems
• Reliable access to data - IBM helps verify compatibility through testing which is among the most rigorous in the industry
• Backed by renowned IBM Service and Support.
