The HP SureStore DLT 8000 (Part Number: C6529A) is a high-performance tape drive designed for handling data backup and archiving tasks. It utilises DLT (Digital Linear Tape) technology, which is known for its reliability and high data integrity. Featuring SCSI (Small Computer System Interface), this tape drive ensures fast data transfers while maintaining a low error rate during backup and restore processes.
The tape drive is capable of handling compressible data with a maximum storage capacity of 160GB (with a 2:1 compression ratio), or 80GB of uncompressed data storage. Thanks to the DLT IV tape media format, businesses can rely on durable, long-life data storage that can withstand extensive usage. The unit offers considerable efficiency for enterprises that process large quantities of data daily while still ensuring high-speed backup and recovery rates of up to 6 MB per second, helping to minimise downtime during backups.
Connecting via SCSI, the device supports a variety of operating systems frequently used in enterprise environments, including various UNIX, Windows, and Linux distributions. The HP SureStore DLT 8000 is also backward-compatible, meaning it can read from and write to older DLT tapes, such as DLT III and DLT IV cartridges, providing flexibility to organisations with longstanding backup archives.
Along with its robust tape handling, the unit also features error correction technology, which ensures data integrity throughout the read/write process. Its compact design allows for easy installation within enterprise server racks or workstations, helping IT departments maximise available space in data centers.
