HP StorageWorks SDLT 160/320 Tape Drive

The HP StorageWorks SDLT 160/320 GB Tape Drive extends the advantages of an SDLT-based data protection solution by increasing capacity and performance by 45%. Total costs of ownership are significantly lowered by reducing the number of data cartridges required and by shrinking the backup window for business-critical data. In addition, backward-read compatibility to existing DLT and SDLT-based solutions provides the highest level of investment protection while offering a smooth transition path to the SDLT 160/320-based data protection solutions. The SDLT 160/320 is an enhanced version of the SDLT 110/220 tape drive offering a 45% increase in native capacity per cartridge (160 GB) and data transfer performance (16 MB/s). The SDLT 160/320 offers the same backward-read compatibility to current DLT tape drives as the SDLT 110/220, but is also write-compatible with the SDLT 110/220 and utilizes the same SDLT1 media and cleaning cartridge. Internal Drive support for AlphaServers' platforms is limited to use in a rack mount enclosure.
