IBM 01K1276 hard drive specifications
IBM Deskstar 5 - hard drive - 4.2 GB - ATA-33
The Deskstar 5 achieves it's enhanced capacity and performance by taking advantage of IBM's development and implementation experience in advanced disk drive technologies. These technologies include Magneto-Resistive (MR) heads, No-ID sector formatting and the PRML digital channel. MR heads offer increased areal density, reducing the number of disks and heads required for a given capacity. No-ID sector formatting further increases storage capacity by eliminating the overhead caused by the duplicate storage of each data sector's ID field onto the disk, creating more available disk space for customer data. The PRML digital channel implemented now on IBM's newest desktop drives such as the Deskstar 5 allows for higher areal densities, significantly enhancing the drive's overall performance.
