Product Description
The HP C2244/45/46/47 single-ended and differential disk drives are reliable, low cost,
high capacity, high performance, random access mass storage devices. Each product utilizes
sputtered thin-film 3.5-inch (95 mm) disks as storage media. The disk drive electrical interface
is compatible with the new industry standard Small Computer System Interface (SCSI-2).
Figure 1-1 shows the major components of the disk drive.
These drives incorporate an advanced Digital Signal Processor (DSP) hybrid servo design that
provides the flexibility and performance of a dedicated servo system and the dynamic head
alignment of an embedded servo system. High capacity and fast average transfer rates are
achieved with Multiple Zone Recording.
