The IBM 3628 - tape drive - LTO Ultrium - SAS-2 (part number 3628N3X) is a high-performance data storage solution. Designed for demanding data management environments, it leverages LTO Ultrium technology, enabling users to store large quantities of data efficiently. The drive supports SAS-2 interface, which ensures fast and reliable data transfer rates, making it ideal for backup, archiving, and disaster recovery operations.
This tape drive is compatible with the LTO Ultrium tape format, allowing it to read and write up to 6 TB of compressed data (or 2.5 TB of uncompressed data) per cartridge. With an 8 Gbps data transfer rate, users can expect quick and efficient backups, critical for businesses handling vast amounts of data.
Additionally, the IBM 3628N3X features hardware encryption, offering enhanced data security during the write process. This helps ensure that data is safe from unauthorised access, important when dealing with sensitive or confidential information. The drive is also backward-compatible with previous generations of LTO tapes, providing flexibility in managing existing tape libraries while ensuring future scalability.
The integrated error correction code (ECC) enhances data reliability by detecting and correcting errors during the storage and retrieval processes. Lastly, the 3628N3X is valued for its durability, designed to handle high workloads over extended periods of use, making it an excellent choice for enterprise-level deployments.
