The IBM Half-high LTO Generation 4 SAS Tape Drive with part number 90Y4588 is a reliable and robust storage solution designed for managing large volumes of data. This tape drive supports the LTO Ultrium 4 format, which offers a native capacity of up to 800 GB per cartridge and a compressed capacity of 1.6 TB. This makes it ideal for businesses that require a scalable and cost-efficient backup solution.
Equipped with a SAS-2 (Serial Attached SCSI) interface, the 90Y4588 provides high-speed data transfer rates of up to 120 MB/s (native) or up to 240 MB/s (compressed). This ensures efficient management of backup, archiving, and data retrieval tasks, even with large data sets. The half-high form factor means it is designed to fit into space-constrained environments while still delivering exceptional performance and reliability.
This IBM LTO-4 tape drive is backward compatible, meaning it not only supports reading and writing to LTO-4 cartridges but can also read LTO-3 cartridges, thereby offering flexibility for organisations that are transitioning between storage media. Additionally, support for hardware-based AES 256-bit encryption provides an added layer of security, helping to protect sensitive data during backup processes.
Key features include WORM (Write Once, Read Many) capability, ensuring that data cannot be overwritten once stored, which is vital for regulatory compliance. Furthermore, the LTO cartridge memory (LTO-CM) allows for quick access to tape information, making this tape drive both versatile and efficiency-oriented for businesses handling critical data workloads.
