Hi Lale,
One would expect to find it here:
http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/me/en/sm/WF06c/A1-1769079-1769113-1769113-1769139-1769139-16169139.html
Nothing really available on their site...
However, estimate IOPS is relatively easy with
Spindle IOPS = ((RPM/60)/3)*2
Or at least ~167 8k IOPS per spindle
To figure out User Data Transfer rates, use the following:
UDT=(Spindle Speed / 60 * Sectors Per Track * Bits per Sector * 8) /
1,000,000
Bits Per Sector as defined by HP can be here:

http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11531_div/11531_div.HTML>
So BPS=512
The other two number we need is the platters used in this 146GB drive and
the physical platter size (3.5", 2.5", 1", and I would assume 3.5") to
determine an areal density or at least GB/Platter density to determine the
inner & outer range of UDT. It will be a wide range considering Zone Bit
Recording (ZBR)
BTW, the whole U320 MB/Sec transfer is a U320 SCSI transfer rate and not
the user data transfer rate for the drive itself.

Subject: IO rate for U320 SCSI 15K RPM Hard Drive
Hi All,
Does anyone have some information of expected IO rate (IOPS and/or MBPS)
for U320 SCSI 15K RPM Hard Drive (HP 146GB U320 15K Universal HDD)?
Thanks!
Lale
