The Q1523B HP StorageWorks DAT-72 is a DDS-5 (Digital Data Storage-5) external tape drive that has a capacity of 36GB or 72GB. The drive uses the SCSI SE/LVD (Single-Ended/Low Voltage Differential) interface to connect to a computer or server. The drive has two capacity options, 36GB and 72GB, which refer to the maximum amount of data that can be stored on the tape.
The 36GB option refers to a single tape cartridge that can store up to 36GB of data. This option is suitable for small to medium-sized businesses or organizations that need to backup or archive smaller amounts of data.
The 72GB option refers to a single tape cartridge that can store up to 72GB of data. This option is more suitable for larger organizations or businesses that need to backup or archive larger amounts of data.
It is worth noting that the actual capacity of the tape can vary depending on the compression ratio and the data being backed up. Both options offer a reliable and cost-effective way to backup and archive data for long-term storage.
Data backup and recovery CapabilitiesThe Q1523B HP StorageWorks DAT-72 tape drive is a DDS-5 (Digital Data Storage) SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) SE/LVD (Single-Ended/Low Voltage Differential) external tape drive that is designed for data backup and recovery. It has a maximum storage capacity of 36GB (native) and 72GB (compressed) and uses DDS-5 tapes, which are known for their high reliability and long archival life.
The tape drive's data backup capabilities include the ability to store large amounts of data on a single tape, making it ideal for long-term archival storage. It also supports a variety of backup software options, including HP Data Protector, Symantec Backup Exec, and CA ARCserve Backup, which allow for scheduling and automating backups.
When it comes to data recovery, the Q1523B tape drive uses a number of features to ensure that data can be quickly and easily restored in the event of a failure. For example, it supports hardware compression, which increases the amount of data that can be stored on a tape, making it easier to recover more data in a shorter amount of time. Additionally, the tape drive's built-in error correction and detection features help to ensure that the data on the tape is accurate and can be successfully restored.
