Server-class
5-year Limited Warranty

The best combination of high-reliability and high-capacity, combined with a 5-year limited warranty make these the perfect solution for your enterprise storage needs.


Key Features

  • Reliability in high duty cycle environments - Utilizing enterprise-class manufacturing processes, these drives are designed with enhanced reliability in a 24x7, high duty cycle environment.
  • Fast - With a next-generation SATA interface, up to 3 Gb/s data transfer rate, native command queuing (NCQ)*, and 16 MB cache, these drives deliver optimum performance. (*Not available in all models.)
  • Built to last - Made for years of high-performance operation around the clock. Reliability demonstration testing indicates a mean time between failure (MTBF) of one million hours.
  • RAID-specific time limited error recovery - Improves error handling coordination with RAID adapters and prevents drive fallout caused by extended drive error-recovery processes.
  • Fluid dynamic bearing (FDB) motor - Improves hard drive reliability; reduces heat, vibration, and noise.
  • Improved power controller - Consumes less power and generates low heat.
  • Data Lifeguard Tools™ - Software utility that works in conjunction with the embedded Data Lifeguard™ features (including shock protection, an environmental protection system, and embedded error detection and repair features) to make hard drive installation, management, and diagnostics simple and worry-free.
  • Hot plug support - Allows swapping of hard drives without having to power down the system or reboot; promotes system design flexibility, data availability, and serviceability.
  • Backplane compatibility - Uses the SATA industry standard connector which includes alignment ears and 3-stage electrical mating sequence, designed specifically for backplanes and hot pluggability.
  • SATA latching connector - Provides a secure connection between the hard drive and the cable connector via a locking latch mechanism.

sonnet Technologies G5 Jive Internal SATA HD Mounting Kit

PowerMac G5 and G5 Jive Features
  • Supports mounting of three Serial ATA hard drives inside Power Mac G5 computers*
  • Most cost-effective way to add high performance storage capacity to a Power Mac G5
  • Includes all necessary mounting hardware and cables (SATA PCI-X card sold separately)
  • Custom-designed 3-drive power cable simplifies installation and reduces clutter
  • Installation does not interfere with PCI cards

    *10K RPM drives not supported.


Swing Five Drives Into Your G5!
Looking to add more drives to your perforated performer? Out of the box, your Power Mac G5 provides mounting support for only two hard drives (and one slot is already occupied), so if your needs are limited, that might work out just fine… But, what if you need more storage space than two drives can muster, and you don't want the added expense or desktop clutter of external storage? Check out the G5 Jive—G5 Jive provides secure anchorage for three additional drives and all the cables necessary to connect them to a Serial ATA host controller card—just add SATA drives to create the most cost-effective solution for adding high-performance storage capacity to a Power Mac G5. Using Mac OS X Disk Utility or third party software and multiple drives, you can create a striped (RAID 0) array to achieve great read/write performance, or a mirrored (RAID 1) array for data security. For even greater flexibility and performance, an additional drive in the Power Mac G5’s second drive bay can be included with the G5 Jive drives in a RAID 0 array—a four drive striped array can achieve data transfer rates up to 274 MB/s!
 
G5 Jive consists of a custom metal base plate and mounting bracket, mounting screws, three internal SATA data cables, and a custom-designed 3-drive SATA power cable. It mounts in the space at the bottom of the case beneath the optical drive, and its installation has zero impact on PCI slots and adapter cards. When combined with a high-performance Serial ATA host controller card like our acclaimed Tempo-X eSATA 4+4, G5 Jive makes it possible for you to add up to three additional internal drives now and four external drives in the future
