About this product
The IBM DGHS 04U is an enterprise-grade internal desktop hard disk drive with a 4 GB storage capacity. This 3.5-inch HDD utilizes a 68-pin SCSI interface and is compatible with PC systems. It operates at a 7200 RPM rotation speed, offering a read speed of 100MB/s and a transfer rate of 125 Mbps. An 8 MB cache is included to enhance performance. This specific offering includes two units, presented in a silver color.
Our take
For those needing to service or build out older systems requiring 68-pin SCSI drives, these IBM DGHS 04U units are a decent choice. The 4 GB capacity per drive is quite limited, but the 7200 RPM rotation speed means it's a relatively fast option for this generation of drives. You'll get decent performance with 100MB/s read speed and 125 Mbps transfer rate, which is standard for SCSI at this level. The 8 MB cache is also a welcome feature for its time, providing a small boost to frequently accessed data. Getting two units in a single package is beneficial for redundancy or expanding storage options.
