Storage Review heeft een review van de nieuwe next-generation IBM Ultrastar 18ES Ultra2 Wide SCSI drive gepost. Hier heb je wat info over het ding:
The 18ES achieves its 18.2 gigabyte capacity using a full platter less than the Western Digital Enterprise WDE18300, weighing in at 3.6 gigs/platter. The drive's seek time is listed at a swift 7.0 milliseconds. Spindle-speed, of course, remains at a tried-and-true 7200rpm. A 2 megabyte buffer, seemingly standard for today's SCSI drives, rounds out the package. The drive is backed by an industry-standard 5-year warranty.
