Product Description
The IBM 46X4804 is a high-capacity, half-height SAS tape drive based on the LTO-5 (Linear Tape-Open Generation 5) standard. This drive is engineered for robust data backup, archiving, and disaster recovery in enterprise environments. It offers a substantial native storage capacity of 1.6 Terabytes (1600GB) per cartridge, which can be doubled to 3.2 Terabytes (3200GB) when utilizing hardware compression, making it highly efficient for large data volumes. Featuring a SAS interface, the drive ensures high-speed data transfer rates, typically up to 140 MB/s in native mode, allowing for rapid backups and restores. The LTO-5 technology also provides backward read compatibility with LTO-4 media, offering flexibility for organizations transitioning to newer tape formats. This drive is designed to integrate seamlessly into servers and storage arrays that support half-height SAS tape drives. As a critical component of a comprehensive data protection strategy, the IBM 46X4804 provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for long-term data retention. Its robust design and adherence to the LTO standard ensure data integrity and longevity, making it suitable for compliance requirements and safeguarding valuable business information against loss.
