The Apple Drive Module (ADM) is a hot-pluggable hard drive in a special drive carrier module designed for easy server upgradeability and maintenance. Apple Serial ATA Drive Modules are available in capacities up to 1TB and operate at 7200 rpm. The 80GB drive is equipped with 8MB of disk cache. The 1TB drive uses perpendicular recording technology to achieve greater capacity while increasing performance and is equipped with 16MB disk cache. Both drives are 24x7 server-class rated and are ideal for applications needing capacity and great storage value with excellent performance.
Using up to three drive modules, the Xserve can be configured from 80GB to 3TB of internal storage. Unpopulated bays ship with a blank drive carrier which can be replaced with a drive module at any time - even if the server is running - so its easy to add storage capacity as your server needs grow.
Each ADM has two LED activity lights - one indicating drive activity and one indicating drive status. All Apple Drive Modules support SMART - Self Monitoring and Reporting Technology - allowing the hardware monitoring tools including with Xserve to monitor the status of each hard drive and report pre-failure warnings before problems occur.
