IBM DeskStar 75GXP hard disk drives combine performance and capacity to handle a wide range of advanced desktop and audio/video applications. The IBM DeskStar 75GXP incorporates innovative new technologies to greatly enhance system performance--delivering an internal transfer rate that tops the industry average by 27 percent. Glass media, a differential preamplifier, and fifth-generation giant magnetoresistive (GMR) heads enable this level of performance by increasing track capacity an average of 41 percent. A thermal monitor helps ensure data reliability at this high rate. The industry's greatest areal densities provide popular capacity points while reducing the number of components and increasing reliability. The first desktop drive with the IBM safety ramp feature (head load/unload capability) helps protect data by moving the heads off the media surface when powering down. In addition, a laminated top cover and ceramic spindle bearings reduce drive acoustics by up to 7 dB. IBM DeskStar drives utilize proven IBM technologies such as TrueTrack servo and No-ID sector formatting. IBM Drive Fitness Technologies, a set of diagnostic tools, include the award-winning Drive Fitness Test (DFT), the S.M.A.R.T. Self Test, and error logging.
