StorageReview has posted a review on the IBM Ultrastar 36Z15 harddisk
In this review we´ll take a look at the flagship 36.7 gig unit. We hope to examine the 18 GB model in the near future. When reviewing SCSI drives, we usually stick to 68-pin LVD models. At the time of testing, however, IBM could only offer us an 80-pin SCA unit along with an adapter to convert the drive down to standard 68-pin data and 4-pin Molex power connections. To expedite results, we accepted the SCA drive. The results presented below also represent the 68-pin LVD unit.Read more
As a drive meant to take on the Cheetah X15. the Ultrastar 36Z15 aims squarely at enterprise-level server and high-end workstation markets where speed is the utmost of concerns. Its 36-gig capacity, double that of Seagate´s first-generation X15, allows deployment in capacious applications that previously had to stick to 10k RPM offerings. IBM backs the drive with a 5-year warranty.
