The HP StorageWorks Rack-Mount Kit Ultrium 215 Drive (part number: A7444A) is a 1U rack-mountable tape drive solution designed for enterprise-level data backup and archiving. This unit supports the Linear Tape-Open (LTO) Ultrium technology, specifically the Ultrium 215 generation, which allows reliable long-term storage of critical information. The drive interface utilises the SCSI (Small Computer System Interface), ensuring a fast and stable connection with server environments that require robust tape-based backup capabilities.
The Ultrium 215 drive in this kit is compatible with LTO-1 tapes, capable of recording up to 100 GB of native data or 200 GB of compressed data on a single tape, supporting standard compression rates of 2:1. This drive facilitates data transfer speeds of up to 15 MB/s in native mode (or up to 30 MB/s with compression), providing a quick backup solution for medium-sized businesses and data-intensive applications. It also includes features like hardware-based error correction to improve data integrity and ensure reliable read and write functions during operations.
The 1U rack-mount design of this kit enables it to be easily installed in standard-sized equipment racks, saving space in data centres or server rooms. The drive is designed to be highly durable, providing a long operational lifetime with minimal maintenance needs. This tape drive is well-suited for both standalone usage as well as in environments that utilise large-scale backup systems.
