The HP SureStore DAT 24x6e (part number: C1559B) is an external tape library, designed to offer reliable data backup and recovery solutions. It utilises the Digital Audio Tape (DAT) format and supports the DAT24 standard. This tape library is equipped with a SCSI interface, allowing for smooth connections to compatible systems with SCSI controllers. It is a versatile and cost-effective choice for organisations that require secure and efficient storage capacity in a reliable format.
One of the notable features of this unit is its 6-slot tape magazine, which enables a total storage capacity of up to 144 GB of compressed data (assuming 2:1 compression, 12 GB per DAT24 tape). This makes the HP SureStore DAT 24x6e suitable for small- to medium-sized businesses aiming for regular backups without occupying excessive physical space. Its modular format ensures easy deployment in a server room or similar environments. The automated tape handling capabilities in combination with the tape magazine allow for convenient, unattended operation capable of handling multiple backups in sequence.
With a data transfer rate of 2 MB/s (compacted) and the reliability of the DAT format, this tape library balances affordability with functionality. The external design makes it easy to install and maintain, without disturbing other internal server components. The SCSI connection ensures compatibility with a wide range of systems, including legacy environments. Overall, the HP SureStore DAT 24x6e offers a practical solution for dedicated data management within small to medium-sized networks.
