Product Description
The IBM 35P1982 is a state-of-the-art LTO-6 Ultrium tape drive engineered for demanding backup and archiving environments. It leverages the LTO-6 standard, which provides significant improvements in both storage capacity and data transfer speeds compared to previous generations. The drive's half-height form factor makes it versatile for deployment in various server configurations and automated tape libraries, optimizing space utilization while delivering enterprise-grade performance. With a native capacity of 2.5TB, the IBM 35P1982 can store vast amounts of data on a single cartridge. When employing hardware data compression, this capacity expands dramatically to 6.25TB, offering exceptional efficiency for large-scale backup operations and long-term archiving. The Fibre Channel interface ensures high-speed data throughput, with native transfer rates reaching up to 140MB/s, minimizing backup windows and accelerating data retrieval. This LTO-6 drive offers excellent backward compatibility, allowing it to read and write to LTO-5 media and read LTO-4 media. This feature is crucial for organizations transitioning to newer technologies, as it protects existing investments in LTO media while enabling the adoption of the latest performance and capacity benefits. The IBM 35P1982 is a robust and reliable solution for mission-critical data protection and compliance requirements.
