HP Q1595B StorageWorks Ultrium 960 Tape Drive

The HP StorageWorks Ultrium 960 Tape Drive represents HP's third-generation of LTO tape drive technology. Sited as the highest capacity drive in the StorageWorks family, the Ultrium 960 features an 800 GB compressed (2: 1) storage capacity using LTO 3 media. By doubling the capacity of current Ultrium drives, HP customers now require fewer data cartridges to meet their storage needs, considerably reducing their IT costs and increasing their ROI. The Ultrium 960 also features a compressed (2: 1) data transfer rate of 160 MB/s. Using a 16-channel recording head, an Ultra320 SCSI interface, and increases in media tracks and bit density, the HP Ultrium 960 sets a performance benchmark as the world's fastest tape drive. For customers that continually experience shrinking backup windows, the Ultrium 960 is the ideal direct-attach backup storage solution for enterprise and mid-range server, as well as entry-level hard drive arrays.
