Frequently asked questions

What is the maximum data transfer rate of the HP A8706A?

The HP A8706A supports a maximum data transfer rate of 320MB/s through its Ultra-320 SCSI interface. This bandwidth is sufficient for sustained sequential I/O operations and supports multiple concurrent transactions in server environments. The 320MB/s specification ensures the drive can deliver data at rates matching the interface capability without becoming a bottleneck.

What is the storage capacity and spindle speed of this drive?

The A8706A provides 72.8GB of usable storage capacity with a spindle speed of 15000 RPM. The 15000 RPM speed delivers faster data access and reduced latency compared to lower-speed drives, making it suitable for transaction-intensive workloads. This combination of capacity and performance supports demanding enterprise applications requiring both adequate storage and rapid I/O response times.

Is the HP A8706A compatible with my existing SCSI infrastructure?

The A8706A features an 80-pin LVD Ultra-320 SCSI connector, making it compatible with servers and storage controllers supporting Ultra-320 SCSI standards. The 3.5-inch form factor fits standard server drive bays. Verify your system controller supports Ultra-320 SCSI protocol and has available 80-pin SCSI ports before procurement to ensure seamless integration.

Can the HP A8706A be replaced without powering down the system?

Yes, the A8706A features hot-swappable design, allowing drive replacement during system operation. This capability minimizes downtime during maintenance and enables rapid recovery from drive failures. Hot-swap functionality is particularly valuable in high-availability environments where continuous operation is critical and scheduled maintenance windows are limited.

What applications is the A8706A best suited for?

The A8706A is designed for enterprise server environments, particularly those running database systems, transaction processing, and I/O-intensive applications. The 15000 RPM spindle speed and 320MB/s transfer rate provide the performance necessary for sustained workloads. The drive is well-suited for organizations maintaining SCSI-based infrastructure requiring reliable, high-performance storage.
