IBM's performance-enhancing technology -- "tag 'n seek" -- is a method of controlling commands sent from the host processor to the hard drive, enabling faster application activities for the end user. "Tag 'n seek" tags each command that arrives at the drive's buffer with an identifier, then reorders and processes the commands in the most efficient manner. This enables commands to be more quickly processed, minimizing seek time and freeing the host processor to handle other critical activities.

Hårddiskarna bygger på 60GB-skivor som snurrar i vanliga 7200 varv per minut. Hårddiskarna kommer levereras i storlekarna 30, 40, 60, 80, 120 och 180GB. Priset för 60GB modellen hamnar på 144 dollar och 180GB modellen på 360 dollar.
