The HP SureStore DAT 24x6i is a versatile and reliable tape library designed for efficient data storage and reliable backups. It operates with DAT (Digital Audio Tape) technology, which is widely regarded for its cost-effectiveness and long-term storage capabilities. The device has a storage capacity of up to 24 GB (compressed) or 12 GB (native), making it suited for small to medium-sized businesses requiring regular data backups.
This model connects using a SCSI (Small Computer System Interface), ensuring compatibility with a wide range of systems and offering a robust and efficient connection for data transfers. The library includes six available slots, allowing for multiple backups without constant manual intervention. This reduces the need for user handling and limits any potential downtime during operations.
Another significant feature of the HP SureStore DAT 24x6i is its reliability in terms of tape handling. It has a mean time between failures (MTBF) rating of 200,000 hours, highlighting its dependability in high-demand environments. Additionally, the unit offers automatic media loading and unloading, taking the manual process out of the equation for smoother workflows.
In terms of operational convenience, the tape library comes with a clearly labeled status display to help users monitor system functions and tape activity more accurately and efficiently. The entire system is housed in a half-height, internal form factor, taking up minimal space within your server rack.
