In addition, IBM tests all its disk drive enclosures to ensure that there is a margin of error for future drives. To minimize this problem, IBM essentially exceeds requirements with current designs such that future disk drives have a reasonable chance of providing satisfactory performance. The enhanced disk drive mounting and enclosure design has provided excellent results. Investment protection for the future Reliable high performance of disk drives in a server or storage subsystem is the result of an effective disk enclosure and other related components that minimize vibration. A design that exceeds requirements such that the system will function properly with future disk drive models The disk enclosure for the ProFibre Storage Array contains all of these characteristics, providing a high-performance disk system capable of protecting hardware investments well into the future.
