Product Description
The IBM 12X5247, manufactured by Quantum, is an internal Half-Height (HH) SAS tape drive that utilizes LTO-4 technology. This drive is engineered for reliable data backup and archiving in server and workstation environments. The LTO-4 standard offers a significant storage capacity and performance level, making it a suitable choice for organizations needing to protect substantial amounts of data. With a native capacity of up to 800GB per tape cartridge, and a compressed capacity of up to 1.6TB (assuming 2:1 compression), this drive provides an efficient solution for backing up large datasets. The SAS interface ensures high throughput, allowing for faster backup and restore operations, which is crucial for meeting backup windows and minimizing downtime. The Half-Height form factor makes it compatible with a wide range of server chassis that have limited internal space. This internal tape drive is designed for direct installation into a server or workstation's drive bay. It requires appropriate software and drivers to function, typically integrated with backup and archiving solutions. The IBM 12X5247 represents a robust and cost-effective method for long-term data retention, disaster recovery, and compliance purposes, offering a dependable way to safeguard critical business information.
