Product Description
The Quantum AQ283C#900 is a Half-Height SAS LTO-5 tape drive, providing a robust solution for enterprise data backup, archiving, and disaster recovery. LTO-5 technology offers a substantial native storage capacity of 1.5 TB per cartridge, which can be expanded to 3 TB when utilizing data compression. This capacity is ideal for consolidating large volumes of data and reducing the number of tapes required for backup operations, thereby lowering media costs and management overhead. The drive utilizes a SAS interface, ensuring high-speed and reliable connectivity essential for demanding backup and restore tasks in server environments. With native data transfer rates reaching up to 140 MB/s (and up to 280 MB/s compressed), it significantly speeds up backup windows and data retrieval processes, minimizing potential downtime and ensuring business continuity. Designed for integration into servers and tape libraries, the Half-Height form factor optimizes space utilization. The LTO-5 standard ensures backward read compatibility with LTO-4 media and write compatibility with LTO-5 media, offering flexibility for organizations managing different generations of tape technology. The Quantum AQ283C#900 is a dependable choice for secure, long-term data archiving and efficient backup strategies.
