7206-336

The IBM 7206 Model 336 tape drive is a highly reliable storage solution designed for organisations requiring dependable backup and archival methods. This unit uses the Digital Audio Tape (DAT) technology for its media storage, which is a trusted, long-established format that offers moderate capacity and reliable performance. It connects to systems via a SCSI interface, ensuring widespread compatibility with older and modern servers and networks that continue to utilise the SCSI standard for high-speed data transfers.

One of the key features of the IBM 7206 Model 336 is its reliance on the DDS-3 format, offering a storage capacity of 12 GB (native) and up to 24 GB with compression, allowing users to back up a considerable volume of data in a single session. The data transfer rate is also respectable, with native support at 1.2 MB/s, and the rate can increase to 2.4 MB/s with compression. This makes it suitable for businesses looking for efficient data storage without sacrificing reliability.

This tape drive is compatible with a range of operating systems, including IBM’s own AIX versions and other Unix-based systems, adding versatility and flexibility to its implementation. The half-height form factor enables smoother integration into many server racks or desktop use cases, giving users the flexibility to adapt this unit to different environments.

The IBM 7206 Model 336 also includes diagnostic and error-checking features, helping ensure the longevity and continued operation of the unit over time. This increases both performance reliability and ease of use in complex storage environments.
