3.5" internal SCSI hard drive Lenovo Ultra 320 36.4GB 15000 RPM

Lenovo Ultra 320 36.4GB 15000 RPM is a 3.5" internal SCSI hard drive designed for server and workstation environments that demand fast random access and low latency. With a 36.4 GB capacity and a high spindle speed of 15,000 RPM, this drive offers rapid seek times and sustained performance suitable for enterprise-class transactional workloads. The SCSI interface provides reliable connectivity in legacy and mixed storage architectures, supporting systems that require compact, high-performance storage devices.

Advantages

The drive combines a high rotational speed with enterprise-grade design to deliver low latency and consistent I/O performance under heavy load. Its compact 3.5" form factor and moderate capacity make it suitable for dense storage arrays and servers where space efficiency and predictable response times matter. Built to meet the demands of database and transactional applications, the Lenovo Ultra 320 emphasizes reliability and sustained throughput for I/O‑intensive tasks.

Suitable for

• Database servers with high random I/O
• Transactional systems and OLTP workloads
• Workstations requiring fast access to small files
• Legacy servers and storage arrays using SCSI interfaces
• I/O‑intensive applications and caching tiers

Key specifications

• Form factor: 3.5-inch internal drive
• Capacity: 36.4 GB usable storage
• Spindle speed: 15,000 RPM for low latency
• Interface: SCSI for enterprise connectivity
• Optimized for random I/O and transactional performance

How to use

Install the 3.5" internal SCSI drive into a compatible server or workstation bay that supports SCSI connections and 3.5" form factor drives. Ensure the host system firmware and SCSI controller drivers are up to date and properly configured to recognize the drive. Use standard enterprise procedures for powering down before installation, mounting the drive securely, connecting the SCSI cable and power connector, and initializing the drive in the operating system or RAID controller. For integration into arrays, follow the storage controller manufacturer's guidelines for RAID configuration and drive initialization.

Usage recommendations

Use this drive in environments where high rotational speed and low latency are required for small-block random I/O. Monitor drive health and temperature in enterprise systems, and consider RAID configurations or replication for redundancy. This drive is best deployed for transactional databases, caching layers, and legacy SCSI systems where consistent, predictable performance is a priority.
