HC Series CORE Disk Drives INTERNATIONAL Capacity, performance and reliability. Store large amounts of data quickly and efficiently with full confidence in its integ- rity. HC Series drives, available in 40 to 380MB capacities, are perfect for all appli- cations with large storage and high per- formance requirements. Ideal for 386 based network servers such as the IBM PS/2 Model 80. Hardware for your sophisticated software. Disk-intensive applications such as networking, CAD/CAM, CAE and desktop publishing will benefit from the ca- pacity and performance of the HC Series drives. With the HC Series, over 750MB can be mounted internally in one desktop computer while an additional 750MB can be installed in CORE' s Peripheral Storage System 217. Advanced technology. ESDI interface, voice coil head positioning, highest grade media surfaces, dedicated servo surface, auto park and lock, and full-shock mount- ing guarantee fast, accurate and reliable drive performance for your entire system. An HC Series drive, with an average access time of 10 to 17ms, coupled with an HC Controller, allowing data transfer rates to exceed 900KB/second, produces the high- • 40, 90, 150,310 and 380MB • For use in IBM's PS/2-60 and 80, est performing drive systems on the market capacities PC-AT, compatible 286 based today. systems, Compaq's 386 and other • Average access times as low as 10 386 based systems Enhanced performance.
