The LTO half-high tape drive is a SCSI device that can be used for backing
up, restoring and archiving data. These files can include multimedia, imaging,
transaction processing, large databases, and other storage-intensive applications.
Each tape cartridge can store up to 200 GB of data (uncompressed), or up to
400 GB of data (compressed), assuming a 2 to 1 compression ratio.
Note: The
actual capacity varies depending on the application, the type of data, and
the tape cartridge. 200 GB is typical and 400 GB is possible when the Data
Compression setting is activated. The default setting of Data Compression
is controlled by the host system. The user and the application software can
control the activation or deactivation of the data compression setting. The
drive can optimally achieve a 2:1 compression ratio.
The LTO half-high tape drive FRU part number is 96P1775.
The LTO half-high tape drive features:
- A sustained native data transfer rate of up to 24 MB per second, 48 MB
per second at 2:1 compression
- Downward read and write compatibility with earlier LTO-type data cartridges.
- Uses the self-configuring SCSI device driver native to the host operating
system.
- Can be used as an bootable device, depending on the host system configuration.
