The 6FT99 Dell 1.5TB/3TB LTO-5 SAS HH Tape Drive is a high-capacity tape drive designed for backup and archiving purposes. It supports the Linear Tape-Open (LTO) 5 standard, which provides a maximum compressed capacity of 3TB and a native transfer rate of up to 140MB/s.
The actual transfer rate and performance of the tape drive may vary depending on various factors, such as the data being transferred, the system configuration, and the software used. However, the following are some general performance specifications of the 6FT99 Dell LTO-5 SAS HH Tape Drive:
- Maximum compressed transfer rate: 140MB/s
- Maximum native transfer rate: 70MB/s
- Maximum compressed capacity: 3TB
- Maximum native capacity: 1.5TB
- Average access time: 50 seconds
- Interface: SAS (Serial Attached SCSI)
- Buffer size: 256MB
The transfer rate of 140MB/s is the maximum compressed rate, which means that the actual transfer rate may be lower depending on the compression ratio of the data being transferred. The native transfer rate of up to 70MB/s is the transfer rate when no compression is applied to the data.
Data Encryption and SecurityThe 6FT99 Dell 1.5TB/3TB LTO-5 SAS HH Tape Drive is a high-capacity tape drive designed for backup and archival purposes. Data encryption and security are essential features for any backup and archival solution, as they help protect the data stored on the tape from unauthorized access and tampering.
Data encryption is the process of converting plain text data into an encoded version that can only be read by someone with the encryption key. The 6FT99 Dell 1.5TB/3TB LTO-5 SAS HH Tape Drive supports hardware-based encryption using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm. This means that data is encrypted as it is written to the tape, and decrypted as it is read back. The encryption key is stored securely within the tape drive, and can only be accessed by authorized users.
In addition to encryption, the 6FT99 Dell 1.5TB/3TB LTO-5 SAS HH Tape Drive also supports various security features to help protect the data stored on the tape. These include:
- WORM (Write-Once-Read-Many) capability: This feature ensures that data cannot be overwritten or deleted once it has been written to the tape. This makes the tape useful for archiving purposes where data integrity is critical.
- Tape-level access control: The tape drive supports a password protection feature that allows users to restrict access to the tape. Only users with the correct password can read or write data to the tape.
- Data integrity checks: The tape drive uses a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) algorithm to detect and correct any errors that may occur during data transfer. This ensures that the data stored on the tape is accurate and reliable.
The 6FT99 Dell 1.5TB/3TB LTO-5 SAS HH Tape Drive is a tape drive that uses LTO-5 (Linear Tape-Open 5) technology, which is designed to provide high-capacity data storage and reliable data protection.
Reliability: The LTO-5 technology used in this tape drive has been extensively tested and validated by the LTO Consortium, which is a group of technology companies that develop and promote the LTO standard. LTO-5 has been shown to provide high reliability and data integrity, with an average bit error rate of 1 in 10^17 bits, which is significantly better than other storage technologies like hard drives. The 6FT99 Dell tape drive is designed to work with this reliable LTO-5 technology, so you can expect it to provide reliable data storage and protection.
Durability: The 6FT99 Dell tape drive is a half-height (HH) drive, which means it has a compact design that is built to last. It is made with high-quality components and materials that are designed to withstand frequent use and provide long-lasting performance. Additionally, the LTO-5 tape cartridges used with this drive are designed to be durable and have a long lifespan. They can withstand up to 5000 load/unload cycles and have a shelf life of up to 30 years, which means that your data can be safely stored for a long time.
