An industry-leading areal density of 5.7 Gbits/sq. inch and capacities of 6.4 GB, 4.8 GB, and 3.2 GB enable users to store and access the high volumes of data demanded by Internet, video, and multimedia applications. The Travelstar* 6GN provides excellent performance, fast data rates, high RPM (4200), a 512 KB data buffer, and an interface transfer rate of 33.3 MB/sec. Drive Fitness Test* (DFT), an innovative IBM technology, helps reduce end-user disruption and the expense of disk drive replacement. The industry's best non-operating shock rating of 700 G/1 ms and an operating shock rating of 150 G/2 ms help provide exceptional ruggedness. Enhanced Adaptive Battery Life Extender* 3.0 power management technology selects the appropriate mode to help minimize power usage and increase battery life. Industry's lightest 6.4 GB hard disk drive The Travelstar 6GN demonstrates IBM leadership in the mobile hard disk drive market. Giant magnetoresistive (GMR) head technology increases areal density, reducing the number of disks and heads required to provide each capacity point. The results are greater storage capacity and the industry's lightest 6.4 GB hard disk drive. Quality leadership As a member of the Travelstar family, the Travelstar 6GN shares proven common components with the Travelstar 10GT and the Travelstar 14GS -- PCBA, microcode, head, slider, and disks. The use of common components, combined with advanced design and state-of-the-art manufacturing, provides superior quality drives and reduces overall cost of ownership. Time-to-market advantage The Travelstar 6GN enables ultra- portable notebook manufacturers to quickly bring to market 6 GB capacity, while providing industry-leading performance, power management, and shock resistance to notebook users. IBM support and service The Travelstar 6GN is backed by an array of IBM technical support and services. This support package is designed to help ensure that IBM customers can easily integrate the Travelstar 6GN into their design, and quickly develop and manufacture high-quality, cost-effective systems.
