Description
The IBM 46X2400 is a high-performance LTO-5 Ultrium tape drive designed for integration into tape libraries. Its half-height (HH) form factor allows for greater density within library systems, enabling more storage capacity in a smaller footprint. The drive utilizes a Fibre Channel (FC) interface, providing high-speed, reliable connectivity essential for enterprise backup and archiving operations. As an LTO-5 drive, it is capable of reading LTO-4 tapes and writing to LTO-5 tapes. The native capacity for LTO-5 media is 625GB, which can be compressed to 1.25TB, offering significant storage efficiency. Native data transfer rates reach up to 140 MB/s, accelerating backup windows and data retrieval processes. When data compression is enabled, the transfer rate can increase to approximately 280 MB/s. This drive is a crucial component for organizations that rely on tape storage for large-scale data backup, disaster recovery, and long-term archiving. The Fibre Channel interface ensures low latency and high throughput, making it suitable for demanding SAN (Storage Area Network) environments. The IBM 46X2400 represents a robust and scalable solution for managing growing data volumes.
