The IBM System Storage TS2350 Tape Drive Model S53 (part number 3580S5X) is designed for reliable and efficient data storage, backup, and archiving. This tape drive utilises LTO Ultrium technology, providing enhanced performance and robust data security features. The TS2350 comes equipped with a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS-2) interface, allowing high-speed data transfers and ensuring compatibility with modern data centre environments.
Supporting LTO-5 technology, the TS2350 offers a native storage capacity of 1.5 TB and can store up to 3 TB with 2:1 compression. This makes it suitable for enterprises requiring scalable storage solutions. In addition, the drive delivers a sustained native data transfer rate of 140 MB/s, which increases to 280 MB/s with compression, helping to minimise backup times and improve efficiency.
The IBM TS2350 utilises hardware encryption, providing an extra layer of data security for sensitive information. It is also compatible with Write Once, Read Many (WORM) technology, helping organisations to comply with regulatory requirements by ensuring archived data cannot be overwritten. Moreover, the tape drive’s design focuses on energy efficiency and offers a low power consumption operating profile, making it an environmentally considerate storage component for businesses of all sizes.
The compact 5.25-inch half-height form factor of the TS2350 ensures that it can be easily deployed in both rack and standalone configurations, giving users a flexible installation option. The robust construction of the tape drive promotes longevity and reliability, making it an ideal storage solution for securing large volumes of critical data over extended periods.
