Product Description
The IBM 3580-H13 is an external tape drive based on the LTO-1 Ultrium standard, designed to provide robust and high-capacity data backup and archiving solutions. This drive offers a significant native storage capacity of 100GB per cartridge, which can be expanded to 200GB when utilizing the drive's built-in data compression capabilities. This makes it an efficient choice for managing large volumes of data, reducing the number of tapes required and thereby lowering media costs and simplifying library management. The drive features a SCSI High Voltage Differential (HVD) interface. HVD SCSI is a robust signaling standard that offers improved noise immunity and longer cable lengths compared to single-ended SCSI, making it suitable for demanding enterprise environments. The native data transfer rate is up to 10 MB/s, which, combined with compression, can achieve effective transfer rates of up to 20 MB/s. This performance level was considered high for its time and ensures that backup windows are kept within acceptable limits. As an external unit, the IBM 3580-H13 is designed for easy integration with servers that have compatible SCSI HVD controllers. Its primary application is in providing reliable data protection for critical business information, serving as a cornerstone for disaster recovery plans and long-term data retention strategies. The LTO-1 standard ensures a high level of data integrity and reliability, making it a trusted technology for safeguarding valuable data assets.
