Description

The IBM 35P2308 represents a significant advancement in tape storage technology, specifically within the LTO-6 generation. Its Half-Height (HH) form factor allows for greater density within tape libraries and servers, accommodating more drives in a smaller physical footprint. The SAS interface ensures high-speed and reliable data transfer, crucial for efficient backup and restore operations in demanding IT infrastructures. With a native storage capacity of 2.5 terabytes, the 35P2308 can store substantial amounts of data. When employing LTO's native compression algorithms, this capacity expands to an impressive 6.4 terabytes. This dual-capacity feature provides flexibility, allowing organizations to optimize storage utilization based on data compressibility. The drive's performance is equally robust, with native transfer rates reaching up to 140 MB/s, and compressed rates soaring to 360 MB/s, significantly reducing backup windows and improving operational efficiency. This LTO-6 drive is engineered for long-term data retention and archival purposes, offering a cost-effective and reliable solution for safeguarding critical business information. Its compatibility with LTO-6 media ensures adherence to industry standards, facilitating interoperability and data longevity. The 35P2308 is an integral component for businesses seeking to implement or upgrade their tape-based data protection strategies, providing peace of mind through secure and accessible data storage.
