Description
The IBM 35480-03110 is an internal tape drive that utilizes the DDS-1 (Digital Data Storage) format. This technology was an early standard for tape backup, offering a cost-effective solution for data protection in its era. The drive is designed to be installed within a computer system or server, providing a dedicated mechanism for writing data to DDS cartridges and reading data from them. This specific model is identified by multiple part numbers, including 35480-03110, 55F9428, and FRU (Field Replaceable Unit) 16G8404. This redundancy in identification often occurs with enterprise hardware to facilitate serviceability and inventory management. The DDS-1 format typically offered capacities in the range of 1-2 GB (uncompressed), making it suitable for backing up smaller datasets or individual workstations. As an internal drive, the IBM 35480-03110 requires an available drive bay and appropriate interface connection (typically SCSI or IDE, depending on the specific implementation) within the host system. It represents a legacy solution for data backup, often found in older server environments or workstations where DDS technology was prevalent.
