The HP StorageWorks DAT 72x10 (Part Number: AE313A) is a tape autoloader built for small to medium-sized businesses requiring reliable data backup. This specific autoloader utilises the DAT (Digital Audio Tape) technology, offering a cost-effective solution for organisations that need scalable and automated data storage.
One of the distinguishing features of this unit is its 10-slot capacity, allowing multiple cartridges to be loaded for extended backup operations. The device supports DAT 72 media format, which can store up to 72 GB of compressed data per tape, or 36 GB uncompressed. This capacity makes it a practical solution for routine backups of critical data assets.
The autoloader connects using a SCSI (Small Computer System Interface), ensuring compatibility with a wide range of older backup systems as well as certain modern infrastructures. The standard SCSI interface provides solid data transfer rates and is well-suited for environments already using SCSI-based backup hardware.
Dimension-wise, the HP StorageWorks DAT 72x10 is compact and easy to integrate into existing server racks. Its design allows 1U (one rack unit) of space, maximising space efficiency in data centres. The device also features automatic tape loading and ejecting, which streamlines the backup process by reducing manual intervention, and scheduling jobs becomes significantly easier.
This tape autoloader is highly recommended for environments where reliable and automated backup cycles are crucial for maintaining data integrity, especially in small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Its flexibility in managing tape storage offers an ideal balance between cost and utilitarian value.
