Capacity options: 36GB/72GBThe HP Storage Works DAT 72 tape drive has two capacity options: 36GB and 72GB. Both options use the same DDS-5 tape format, but the storage capacity of the tape cartridge differs. The 36GB option uses a single tape cartridge with a native storage capacity of 36GB and a compressed storage capacity of 72GB. The 72GB option also uses a single tape cartridge, but with a native storage capacity of 72GB and a compressed storage capacity of 144GB.
It's worth noting that the compressed storage capacity is achieved by using hardware data compression which compresses the data before it is written to the tape. This can significantly increase the storage capacity of the tape, but it also increases the amount of processing power required to write and read the data.
The choice between the 36GB or 72GB option will depend on your specific storage needs and the amount of data you need to archive or backup. The 72GB option may be more suitable for larger businesses or organizations with more data to store, while the 36GB option may be more suitable for small to medium-sized businesses or remote offices with less data to store.
