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. Compaq hard drives are specifically designed and tested for flawless operation in your Compaq equipment. By using a Compaq hard drive with your Compaq server, you prevent incompatibilities that can rob your system of performance or cause you to lose valuable data. 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. Compaq's Ultra Wide SCSI-3 hard drives are compatible with Compaq Fast Wide and Ultra Wide SCSI-3 controllers and can be combined with Fast Wide SCSI-2 drives on the same SCSI bus. Ultra Wide SCSI-3 drives use the same cables and connectors as Fast Wide drives. When used with Compaq's SMART-2 array controller and Insight Manager, the SMART-capable firmware in Compaq hard drives enables extensive fault prediction. This drive is hot-pluggable which allows you to install or remove it online. Compaq's holds its hot-pluggable hard drives to rigorous standards for both reliability and performance. These drives are intended for use in the most demanding, data-critical enterprise environments and are ideal for use in RAID applications. They are pre-mounted in the appropriate hot-plug tray for immediate installation into your Compaq server or storage system with no additional configuration required.
