IBM 35L1220 100GB (Native)/200GB (Compressed) LTO-1 SCSI LVD External Tape Drive

Product Description

The IBM 35L1220 is an external tape drive utilizing LTO-1 Ultrium technology, designed for reliable data backup and archiving. This drive provides a native storage capacity of 100GB, which can be expanded to 200GB using data compression. While representing an earlier generation of LTO technology, it offers a cost-effective solution for organizations with moderate backup requirements or those needing to access older LTO-1 media. The external form factor allows for easy connection to servers and workstations via its SCSI LVD interface. The SCSI LVD (Low Voltage Differential) interface ensures a stable and reasonably fast connection for data transfer, suitable for the performance levels of LTO-1 technology. This drive is ideal for small to medium-sized businesses or for departmental backup solutions where high-speed, large-volume backups are not the primary concern. Its ease of use and setup makes it a practical choice for environments that prefer external peripherals. This IBM tape drive is a dependable option for basic data protection strategies, including regular backups and archival of important files. Its compatibility with LTO-1 media ensures that data stored on these tapes can be reliably retrieved. The 35L1220 serves as a solid entry point into tape-based storage for those seeking a straightforward and proven backup solution.
