<P>As a pioneer in the hard disk drive industry, IBM continues to provide advanced-technology hard disk drives by offering a complete range of innovative storage solutions for the personal/handheld, mobile, desktop, workstation, and server environments - with a wide array of interfaces designed to meet the needs of today s computer users. </P> <P> As the fourth generation of the award-winning IBM Ultrastar 10,000 RPM disk drive family, the IBM Ultrastar 36LZX drive offers proven quality and the latest technological advances, such as a more powerful actuator motor, active damping, and a leading-edge interface. To achieve maximum I/O performance, this drives combines extremely fast seek times, extra large multisegmented buffers, a sophisticated new command queuing system, hardware automation, and industry-leading sustained data rates. Enhanced suspension and active damping improve write accuracy and reduce data access time. </P> <P> IBM Ultrastar 10,000 RPM drives employ giant magnetoresistive (GMR) head technology to increase areal density (up to 7.0 Gbits/sq. in.) and performance. In addition, highly efficient No-ID sector formatting enables more data to be stored per disk. </P>
