The IBM 3580 Model L3H is a high-performance tape drive specifically designed for organisations that require reliable, scalable data storage. This tape drive is part of the LTO Ultrium family, known for its robust data protection capabilities and extensive compatibility with enterprise-grade environments. The device is built to use the LTO Ultrium technology, which supports high-capacity backup and efficient data archiving for businesses with growing data demands.
Boasting a SCSI interface, the IBM 3580 Model L3H ensures fast and reliable data transfer, making it suitable for use in SAN (Storage Area Network) systems and other professional IT setups. The tape drive is equipped with an LTO-3 device, giving it a native storage capacity of up to 400 GB per cartridge, or 800 GB with compression. This not only ensures a large amount of data can be stored but also allows for easier transport of physical media.
The IBM 3580 Model L3H features a compact, rack-mountable form factor, allowing for integration into various data centre configurations. It provides high-speed data writing and reading performance, with transfer rates of up to 80 MB/s. Combine this with its SCSI connectivity, and you have a device that can support an organisation's need for fast and secure backup processes. Additionally, the backward compatibility with earlier LTO generations (LTO-2 and LTO-1) ensures flexible integration into existing infrastructure without requiring immediate upgrades.
In summary, with its reliable performance, large storage capacity, and compatibility within IT systems, the IBM 3580 Model L3H tape drive is an excellent solution for enterprise-level backup and archiving tasks.
