RZ28 3.5-Inch, 2.1 Gbyte Drive

HIGHLIGHTS

o  SCSI disk with 2.1 Gbytes capacity, in a 3.5-inch form factor

o  9.5-millisecond average seek; 15.1-millisecond average access time

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The RZ28 SCSI disk drive offers twice the capacity of Digital's current 
3.5-inch RZ26 drive, at the same cost per megabyte. While it maintains the 
same state-of-the-art seek and access times and industry-standard spindle 
speed, it offers transfer rates up to 4.9 Mbytes per second.  The RZ28 drive 
provides a bulk storage solution and complements the RZ26 product, which can 
offer high multiple-spindle performance. In addition, the RZ28 drive 
provides an excellent solution for large data-transfer applications.

BENEFITS

o  2.1 Gbytes formatted capacity in a 3.5-inch SCSI-2 Winchester disk drive.
o  Banding technology that provides maximum transfer rates in a 3.5-inch 
   form factor of up to 4.9 Mbytes per second.
o  Unique 1,024 Kbyte segmented cache buffer that maximizes the cache hit 
   rate for sequential read streams, while minimizing impact on cached data.
