Dell 047C98 047C98 - Dell 1.5TB/3TB LTO-5 Fibre Channel HH Tape Drive

Description

The Dell 047C98 is a high-performance Half-Height (HH) LTO-5 (Linear Tape-Open generation 5) tape drive. This drive is equipped with a Fibre Channel (FC) interface, which is a high-speed networking technology commonly used in enterprise storage environments for its reliability and performance. The LTO-5 standard represents a significant advancement in tape storage technology, offering substantial capacity and throughput. With a native storage capacity of 1.5TB per cartridge, the 047C98 drive can store vast amounts of data. This capacity can be effectively doubled to 3TB when utilizing hardware data compression, making it an extremely efficient solution for backing up large datasets and for long-term archival purposes. The drive's ability to handle such large volumes of data minimizes the number of tapes required, reducing media costs and management overhead. In terms of performance, the LTO-5 technology delivers impressive data transfer rates. Native transfer speeds can reach up to 140MB/s, and with compression enabled, this rate can increase to 280MB/s. These speeds are critical for ensuring that backup windows are met, especially in large enterprise networks where significant amounts of data need to be secured quickly. The Fibre Channel interface further enhances this performance by providing a low-latency, high-bandwidth connection to storage networks, making the Dell 047C98 a robust solution for demanding data protection requirements.
