Compaq SCSI Hard Drive Option Kits (Servers)

Option Kits
A wide variety of rigorously tested, Compaq-qualified, SMART capable, Wide Ultra3 SCSI Hard Drives offering data integrity and availability in hot pluggable and non-pluggable models. Compaq 15,000 rpm Hard Drives provide up to 26 percent better performance over standard 10,000 rpm drives. Actual performance increases will vary depending upon application and configuration.

All Compaq hard drives pass a rigorous qualification process, which ensures that every Compaq drive is proven to perform in your Compaq server or workstation. Before final certification, all Compaq hard drives are provided with Compaq-unique firmware specifically designed to optimize compatibility and functionality, including support of SMART and the Compaq Insight Manager™.

Compaq received the 1999 Gold Idea Award for design excellence for the innovative design of the Hot Pluggable Universal drive carrier. The new carrier is praised for both its ergonomics and aesthetics, as well as its many functional enhancements such as the compact design, improved cooling properties,
and more secure drive mounting for reduced vibration.

  
Overview
     
Drive Quality
Today’s distributed enterprise is seeing larger, more complex applications, an increase of mission-critical data moving to the server, increasing demand for transaction processing and critical server consolidation. In this environment, storage has become a critical component of the information system, significantly defining both the systems reliability and performance. This is why Compaq drives undergo an intense qualification process that eliminates data integrity problems, firmware and O/S incompatibilities and other causes of data corruption or premature failure. All drive firmware is specific to our drives and is designed to maximize both functionality and compatibility. All drives are proven to perform in the Compaq systems for which they were designed.
    
Performance
Only those drives whose performance is suitable for an enterprise environment are selected through the Compaq qualification process and are labeled "best-in-class." All our drives are proven to be reliable and tuned for optimum performance in the Compaq equipment for which they were designed.
     
Pre-Failure Warranty
When used in conjunction with a SMART Array Controller and Compaq Insight Manager, the SMART capable firmware in Compaq hard drives enables extensive fault prediction capabilities. If potential problems develop in one of the drives, the SMART Array Controller, Compaq Insight Manager and/or SMART hard disk drive lets you know in advance so you can have the drive replaced, before it fails, under the Compaq Pre-Failure Warranty.

Note: All drives are protected by a Pre-Failure Warranty when used with a Compaq array controller (SMART or SMART-2) and Compaq Insight Manager, allowing hard drives to be replaced before failure free of charge. In addition, all drives are covered by a three-year limited on-site warranty, or the remaining warranty of the Compaq CPU in which it is installed (up to three years).

       
Integration
Many issues customers have with third party drives are "simple" integration issues. When buying from another supplier, there is no guarantee that a drive has been correctly set for proper operation with Compaq servers and storage systems. These incompatibilities can create problems in configuration, can rob your system of performance, or at their worst, can cause you to lose data. Compaq hard drives are specifically designed and tested for flawless operation in your Compaq equipment. The integration of hard drives in Compaq systems means that cables, SCSI ID settings, termination, hot plug drive trays and firmware are right for your Compaq server or storage system.
         
Wide Utra3 SCSI Hard Drives
Compaq’s Ultra3 and Ultra2 hard drives increase the maximum transfer rate of the SCSI bus to 160 MB/s (Ultra3) or 80 MB/s (Ultra2). By reducing the opportunity for SCSI bus saturation, this increased data rate allows all SCSI devices to perform at optimum levels. Ultra3 and Ultra2 hard drives are being offered in an improved hot plug drive carrier and can be used interchangeably in Compaq Ultra2 or Ultra3 capable systems. In addition to improved drive performance and increased storage density, the new carrier will also help prevent the inadvertent insertion of single-ended SCSI drives into Low Voltage Differential SCSI capable equipment (avoiding inadvertent performance degradation of LVD-capable systems). To achieve the maximum (160 MB/s) transfer rates of Ultra3, the hard drive and the array controller (or SCSI host bus adapter) must both be Ultra3 capable.
  
Wide Ultra3 SCSI Universal Hard Disk Drives
Compaq Ultra3 SCSI Universal hard drives provide storage commonality across the enterprise. Ultra3 Universal drives add the feature of hot plug compatibility between any Ultra3 or Ultra2 capable ProLiant™ Servers, ProLiant Storage Systems, AlphaServers™, and StorageWorks™ enclosures by Compaq. These hot plug drives are offered in multiple capacities and spindle speeds. Storage commonality across these platforms provides many benefits including reduced cost of ownership, reduced storage complexity, and a minimized hard drive spares inventory.
