About this product
This IBM DCHS09U is an enterprise-grade internal desktop hard disk drive featuring a 9 GB storage capacity. It comes in a 3.5-inch form factor and connects via a 68-pin SCSI or Ultra SCSI interface. The drive operates at a brisk 7200 RPM rotation speed, delivering a read speed of 100MB/s and a transfer rate of 125 Mbps. An 8 MB cache is integrated to assist with performance. This offering includes two units, compatible with PC systems and presented in a silver color.
Our take
If you're working with legacy PC systems that require robust storage, these IBM DCHS09U drives are a strong candidate, especially as 'new old stock.' The 9 GB capacity per drive is reasonable for its class, and the 7200 RPM speed ensures decent performance for older SCSI setups. With Ultra SCSI support, you're getting one of the faster SCSI interfaces available. The 100MB/s read speed and 125 Mbps transfer rate are competitive for its specifications. The fact that it includes two units is excellent for setting up mirrored storage or expanding a system. The 8 MB cache is also a nice performance booster.
