Hardware Description
The Deskstar 16GP and 14GXP family has an advanced Ultra ATA interface and supports transfer rates of
up to 33.3 MB/sec. To take advantage of the higher transfer rate of 33.3 MB/sec, your computer will need
to have a controller that supports the Ultra ATA interface. If you have an older interface such as Multi-word
DMA Mode-2 or PIO Mode-4, the drive will work, but will be limited in data transfer speed due to the lower
speed of your controller. If you have a slower controller, you may choose to purchase a UltraDMA
controller card (fits into one of the available slots in your computer) to take advantage of Deskstar’s
33.3MB/sec data transfer rate. To determine if your current controller card is Ultra DMA, see the
documentation that came with your system or contact the computer manufacturer for information.
Whether you use your desktop computer for audio and video editing, computer-aided design and
manufacturing (CAD/CAM), 3D graphics, animation and photo manipulation, web page design, or data
mining and data warehousing - advanced desktop applications such as these demand an advanced data
storage solution. These drives are 3.5" drives designed to work in Entry Servers, Entry Workstations and
Desktop personal computers. The Deskstar 16GP is available in capacities of 3.2, 4.3, 6.4, 8.4, 10.1, 12.9
and 16.8 GB running at 5400 RPM. The Deskstar 14GXP is available in capacities of 10.1, 12.9 and 14.4
GB and runs at 7200 RPM. The Deskstar 14GXP and Deskstar 16GP families are designed to work with
