What is the storage capacity of the HP BD1468A4C5?

The HP BD1468A4C5 provides 146.8GB of usable storage capacity. This capacity is suitable for enterprise applications requiring moderate storage per drive, particularly in RAID configurations where multiple drives are combined for increased capacity and redundancy.

What is the spindle speed and how does it affect performance?

The drive operates at 10,000 RPM, which determines its I/O performance characteristics. This speed provides lower latency and faster data access compared to lower-speed drives, making it appropriate for transactional workloads and applications requiring consistent response times in datacenter environments.

What interface does this drive use and what is the transfer rate?

The HP BD1468A4C5 uses Ultra320 SCSI interface with a maximum transfer rate of 320MB/s. This interface is standard in enterprise environments and ensures compatibility with existing server infrastructure and storage management systems.

What is the physical form factor and where does it install?

The drive uses the LFF 3.5-inch form factor, which is the industry standard for enterprise storage. It installs in standard datacenter server chassis and storage enclosures designed for 3.5-inch drives, supporting hot-swap replacement in compatible systems.

Is this drive suitable for datacenter deployment?

Yes, the HP BD1468A4C5 is classified as a datacenter-level product, engineered for continuous operation in enterprise environments. The combination of 10K RPM performance, Ultra320 SCSI interface, and LFF form factor makes it appropriate for mission-critical server storage applications.
