Description

The IBM 09G4494-30PK represents a bulk package of 30 IBM Enhanced 3490E data cartridges. The 3490E system was a high-performance magnetic tape subsystem developed by IBM, designed for enterprise-level data backup and archiving. These cartridges utilize advanced magnetic tape technology to store large volumes of data, offering significantly higher capacities than earlier tape formats. The 'Enhanced' designation typically refers to media capable of higher densities and performance when used with compatible 3490E drives. Depending on the specific drive model and media type, native capacities could range up to 20GB, with compressed capacities reaching up to 40GB. This made the 3490E system a powerful solution for mainframe and high-end server environments requiring efficient handling of massive datasets. These IBM 3490E cartridges are designed for reliability and longevity, suitable for long-term data retention. They are a critical component for organizations that relied on IBM's tape storage solutions for their backup, disaster recovery, and archival strategies. The 30-pack quantity indicates a supply for environments with substantial data storage needs.
