The HP StorageWorks DAT 160 USB Internal Tape Drive, part number Q1580AR, is a reliable data storage device designed for small to mid-sized businesses. This drive offers cost-effective backup solutions and uses the DAT (Digital Audio Tape) format, which is highly regarded for its durability and performance in archiving and backup scenarios. The device is installed internally, making it a neat and space-saving option for systems that can accommodate internal drives.
One of the key features of this tape drive is its Hi-Speed USB interface, which allows for fast data transfer rates. The USB interface ensures that the drive can be easily connected and recognised by a wide variety of systems, eliminating complex installation requirements. Additionally, this drive provides up to 160 GB of compressed data storage, allowing for substantial archival capacity in a compact form factor.
The drive's small and durable design makes it an excellent choice for environments where space is limited, but data storage demands remain significant. Its compatibility with Hi-Speed USB offers the convenience of fast file transfer, facilitating more efficient backups and restores over traditional tape drive connections. Moreover, the cost-per-gigabyte savings are notable, as tape drives generally remain one of the more affordable long-term backup solutions compared to other forms of media storage.
Another important feature of the HP StorageWorks DAT 160 is its inclusion of data compression technology, which allows for up to twice the storage capacity compared to uncompressed tape. Businesses and individuals alike can benefit from this feature by reducing the number of tapes required for extensive backup operations, minimising overall costs.
