Product overview of the HP DW085A
DW085A HP 200/400GB Storageworks LTO-2 Ultrium 448 Tape Drive is a tape drive designed to provide high capacity, high performance backup and archive storage for small to medium-sized businesses. It is a tape drive that uses Linear Tape-Open (LTO) technology, which is an open-standard tape format that allows different brands of tape drives to read and write data to the same tapes.
Capacity and Compatibility
The DW085A HP 200/400GB Storageworks LTO-2 Ultrium 448 Tape Drive has a native storage capacity of 200GB and a compressed capacity of 400GB. The compressed capacity is achieved by using data compression algorithms that can compress data by a ratio of up to 2:1.
The tape drive is also backward compatible with LTO-1 tapes, which have a native capacity of 100GB and a compressed capacity of 200GB. This means that the DW085A HP 200/400GB Storageworks LTO-2 Ultrium 448 Tape Drive can read and write LTO-1 tapes, but LTO-1 tape drives cannot read LTO-2 tapes.
Performance and Speed
The DW085A HP 200/400GB Storageworks LTO-2 Ultrium 448 Tape Drive has a maximum data transfer rate of 48MB/s. This means that it can transfer data at a rate of 48 megabytes per second. The tape drive achieves this speed by using an Ultrium 2 tape drive technology, which uses a wider tape and improved data encoding techniques compared to LTO-1 tape drives.
The tape drive also has a fast seek time of 64 seconds, which means that it can locate and access data quickly. This is an important feature for backup and archive storage because it reduces the time required to access data.
Reliability and Durability
The DW085A HP 200/400GB Storageworks LTO-2 Ultrium 448 Tape Drive is designed to be reliable and durable. It uses a robust tape cartridge that can withstand up to 1 million passes and has a shelf life of up to 30 years. The tape cartridge also has a protective casing that helps to prevent damage from dust, debris, and other contaminants.
The tape drive has a Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) of 250,000 hours, which means that it is designed to be reliable over a long period of use. It also has a head life of 30,000 hours, which means that the tape drive's read and write heads can last for a long time.
Compatibility and Connectivity
The DW085A HP 200/400GB Storageworks LTO-2 Ultrium 448 Tape Drive is designed to be compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and Unix. It also supports a range of backup software, including HP Data Protector, Symantec Backup Exec, and CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup.
The tape drive connects to a computer or server using a SCSI interface, which is a high-speed data transfer interface. It also supports a range of SCSI protocols, including SCSI-1, SCSI-2, SCSI-3, and Ultra320 SCSI.
Management and Monitoring
The DW085A HP 200/400GB Storageworks LTO-2 Ultrium 448 Tape Drive is designed to be easy to manage and monitor. It includes HP Library and Tape Tools, which is a software suite that provides a range of management and diagnostic tools for HP tape drives and tape libraries.
