Description

The Quantum 70-85426-01 is an LTO-2 Ultrium tape drive, a robust solution for enterprise data backup and archiving. This drive utilizes the LTO-2 standard, providing a significant leap in capacity and performance over previous generations of tape technology. It features a SCSI LVD (Low Voltage Differential) interface, which ensures high-speed and reliable data transfer, making it suitable for demanding backup operations in server environments. The 5.25-inch half-height form factor allows for easy integration into most server chassis and tape libraries. With a native storage capacity of 200GB, the LTO-2 Ultrium drive can store substantial amounts of data. When employing hardware data compression, this capacity can be doubled to 400GB per tape cartridge. This compression capability is vital for reducing the number of tapes required, lowering media costs, and optimizing storage space. The drive offers impressive data transfer rates for its generation, reaching up to 30MB/s natively and up to 60MB/s with compression, ensuring that backup and restore operations are completed efficiently. This Quantum tape drive is designed for compatibility with a wide range of servers and storage systems that support the SCSI LVD interface. The LTO-2 standard ensures backward read compatibility with LTO-1 tapes and forward write compatibility with LTO-3 media (at LTO-2 performance levels), providing a degree of flexibility for organizations transitioning between tape generations. It represents a reliable and cost-effective solution for businesses needing dependable data protection and long-term archival capabilities.
