IBM 40k2553 DAT 36/72 GB DDS-5 LVD/SE INTERNAL TAPE DRIVE

IBM 40k2553 36/72GB DDS5 ULTRA2 SCSI INTERNAL TAPE DRIVE 5.25 HH BLACK This DDS Generation-5 tape drive option brings performance and capacity in a 5.25-inch, half-high form factor to low and midrange IBM eServer xSeries servers. This reliable tape drive unit supports Ultra2 low-voltage differential (LVD) SCSI connections and high-speed tape backup. This single drive tape can store up to 36GB native capacity and up to 72GB compressed. Tape drives that use data compression technology have storage capacity that will vary depending upon whether the drive is operating in native mode (without compression) or compressed mode. Although the compression technology used in IBM tape drives can typically double the amount of data stored on the media, the actual degree of compression achieved is highly sensitive to the characteristics of the data being compressed.Capacity and InterfaceCompressed CapacityUp to 72 GBNative CapacityUp to 36 GBRecording FormatDAT72Interface TypeUltra2 SCSI LVD PerformanceNative Sustained Transfer Rate12.6 GB/hourCompressed Sustained Transfer Rateup to 25.2 GB/hourNative Burst Transfer Rate10 MB/secCompressed Burst Transfer Rate80 MB/secAverage File Access Time< 40 secSearch Speed200x normalDrum Rotational Speed10000 RPMBackup Speed12.6 GB/hourCompressed Backup Speedup to 25.2 GB/hourBuffer Memory Size16 MB
