The HP 258266-001 Storage Works SDLT 320 tape drive is a high-performance storage device that uses a SCSI LVD interface to transfer data to and from a computer system. This tape drive has a native capacity of 160GB and can store up to 320GB of compressed data.
The data transfer rate of the SDLT 320 tape drive depends on several factors, including the speed of the SCSI bus, the size of the data blocks being transferred, and the compression ratio of the data being written to the tape. At its maximum transfer rate, this tape drive can transfer data at a rate of up to 16MB/s.
In terms of performance, the SDLT 320 tape drive is a reliable and high-quality storage solution. It is designed to meet the needs of businesses and organizations that require high-capacity, high-performance storage for backup and archival purposes. The SDLT 320 tape drive is also backward-compatible with earlier generations of SDLT tape drives, allowing users to easily upgrade their storage capacity without having to replace their existing tape drives.
Installation and ConfigurationThe installation and configuration of an HP 258266-001 Storage Works SDLT 320 tape drive involve several steps:
- Prepare your computer: Ensure that your computer has an available SCSI LVD (Low Voltage Differential) interface and meets the minimum system requirements for the tape drive.

Connect the SCSI cable to the interface card and to the SCSI port on the back of the tape drive. Secure the drive in the drive bay using the screws provided.
- Configure the SCSI ID: The SCSI ID determines the unique address of the tape drive on the SCSI bus. Set the SCSI ID using the jumper settings on the back of the drive. Ensure that the SCSI ID is not in conflict with other devices on the SCSI bus.
- Install the device driver: Install the device driver for the tape drive. This can usually be downloaded from the HP website or provided on a CD that came with the drive. Follow the instructions provided with the driver to install it on your computer.
- Test the tape drive: Once the driver is installed, test the tape drive to ensure that it is working correctly. You can do this by using backup software that is compatible with the tape drive or by using the manufacturer's diagnostic software.
