HP 80GB Hard Drive, SATA, 7200rpm, 8MB Cache, 3.0Gb/s
These high-capacity drives offer superior reliability and performance. Serial ATA is the next generation ATA interface. It provides faster data transfer speeds, better system cooling airflow, more bandwidth, more headroom for speed increases in future generations and better data integrity helping to improve productivity. A next-generation technology, Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) interface connects hard drives to the PC platform. SATA point-to-point topology provides a direct path between the hard drive and the PC enabling easy aggregation of multiple hard drives into a single PC. This offers you the additional benefits of dedicated bandwidth, the ability to more easily identify device failures and scalability. Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART) hard drive technology is designed to allow hard drives to monitor their own health and to raise flags if imminent failures are predicted. If the drive determines that a failure is imminent, the SMART hard drive technology enables
