Product Description

The Sun 380-1595-01 is an internal tape drive that leverages the LTO-3 Ultrium 920 standard, providing a robust solution for enterprise-level data backup and archiving. This drive is designed for installation within servers or storage enclosures, utilizing a standard 5.25-inch form factor. The SCSI interface ensures a reliable and high-performance connection to the host system, which is critical for efficient data transfer during backup and restore operations. With a native capacity of 400GB per cartridge, the LTO-3 Ultrium 920 drive offers substantial storage space. When data compression is applied, this capacity can be doubled to 800GB, making it highly efficient for storing large volumes of data. The drive boasts a native data transfer rate of up to 30MB/s, allowing for relatively quick backup windows even for large datasets. This performance, combined with its capacity, makes it suitable for demanding environments requiring reliable long-term data retention. Key features of the Sun 380-1595-01 include support for WORM (Write-Once, Read-Many) functionality, which is essential for regulatory compliance and data security by preventing data from being altered or deleted after it is written. The drive also incorporates advanced error correction codes and data integrity checks, ensuring the reliability of stored data over extended periods. As an LTO-3 drive, it offers backward read compatibility with LTO-1 and LTO-2 media, and write compatibility with LTO-2 media, providing a degree of flexibility in existing LTO environments.
