The IBM LTO Generation-2 tape drive, part number 59P6744, offers reliable data storage and archival solutions for enterprises requiring high-capacity backups. This drive is part of IBM's Ultrium range, specifically designed with LTO (Linear Tape-Open) Generation-2 technology, which provides efficient, fast, and secure data recording. The drive supports native capacities of up to 200 GB and compressed capacities reaching up to 400 GB, making it ideal for data-heavy applications such as large-scale backups and long-term archival.
The drive connects via a SCSI interface, enabling high-speed data transfers while maintaining compatibility with a wide array of server configurations. The maximum sustained transfer rate reaches 35 MB/s for uncompressed data (up to 70 MB/s in compressed mode), which ensures timely backups and data retrieval. Enhanced with the Ultrium 2 format, this tape drive provides backward read-and-write capabilities with first-generation LTO media and read compatibility for LTO Generation-2 media.
To ensure the longevity of critical data, the IBM LTO Generation-2 tape drive is equipped with robust Error Correction Code (ECC) algorithms and enhanced media integrity verification. Additionally, it supports WORM (Write Once, Read Many) functionality when used with compliant media, ensuring data integrity for regulatory compliance or special data-retention needs.
Moreover, IBM optimises the device for reliable performance during intensive workloads, integrating advanced cooling mechanisms and hardware monitoring, which contribute to its remarkably long service life.
Forming part of IBM’s trusted range of enterprise-grade storage solutions, the IBM LTO Generation-2 tape drive is a dependable choice for businesses seeking secure, high-capacity storage with fast retrieval times.
