The IBM LTO Generation-2 tape drive, part number 30R5099, is a reliable data storage device designed to deliver high-performance and cost-effective archival storage. This drive supports the LTO Ultrium format, which is widely known for its scalability and reliability in data backup solutions. With its capability to store data at up to 200GB (native) or 400GB (compressed), this tape drive is ideal for environments that require substantial storage capacity.
It features a SCSI interface for fast, robust connectivity, utilising the well-regarded SCSI protocol for high-speed data transmission. The drive has a native data transfer rate of up to 24MB/s, which can be increased to 48MB/s when using compressed data. This ensures efficient backup and restore processes, minimising downtime and helping to protect your critical data.
Reliability is further enhanced with error-correction technology, enabling the handling of data errors and ensuring data integrity during long-term storage. The drive is designed for compatibility with both LTO-1 and LTO-2 tapes, allowing organisations with existing LTO-1 media to transition smoothly into LTO-2 technology while protecting their investment.
The IBM LTO Generation-2 tape drive supports advanced features such as data encryption, ensuring that stored data remains secure and protected from unauthorised access.
