45E2695 is a tape drive model manufactured by IBM, which is used for storing data. This model uses LTO (Linear Tape-Open) technology, which is a type of magnetic tape storage device used for backing up and archiving data. This tape drive has a SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface and can be installed internally in a computer. In this article, we will discuss the features, specifications, and benefits of the IBM 45E2695 tape drive.
FeaturesThe IBM 45E2695 tape drive is designed to provide high-performance data storage and reliable backup solutions. The features of this tape drive include:
Capacity and SpeedThe IBM 45E2695 tape drive has a storage capacity of 800GB for uncompressed data and up to 1.6TB for compressed data. The data transfer rate of this tape drive is up to 120MB/s for uncompressed data and up to 240MB/s for compressed data. These specifications make the IBM 45E2695 tape drive a suitable choice for data-intensive applications.
LTO TechnologyThe IBM 45E2695 tape drive uses LTO technology, which is an open format for data storage developed by IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and Quantum. LTO technology provides high-capacity storage and reliable data protection. The LTO Ultrium-4 standard used in this tape drive offers a high level of data security through encryption, write-once-read-many (WORM) functionality, and media partitioning.
SAS InterfaceThe IBM 45E2695 tape drive is equipped with a SAS interface, which is a high-speed interface used for connecting storage devices to a computer. The SAS interface provides fast data transfer rates, improved scalability, and better performance compared to other interfaces such as SCSI and SATA. The SAS interface also provides hot-swappable functionality, which allows the tape drive to be replaced or added to a computer system without shutting it down.
CompatibilityThe IBM 45E2695 tape drive is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, Linux, and IBM AIX. It is also compatible with various backup software applications such as IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Symantec Backup Exec, and CA ARCserve Backup.
Benefits
Reliable Data Protection The IBM 45E2695 tape drive uses LTO technology, which provides reliable data protection and archiving. The tape drive offers hardware-based encryption and WORM functionality, which ensure that data is secure and cannot be altered or deleted once written to the tape. The tape drive also supports media partitioning, which allows users to allocate specific portions of the tape for different data sets or applications.
Cost-Effective Storage
The IBM 45E2695 tape drive provides a cost-effective solution for storing large amounts of data. The tape cartridges used in this drive are relatively inexpensive and can store up to 1.6TB of compressed data. Tape drives also have a longer lifespan than hard disk drives, which means they require less frequent replacement and maintenance.
Scalable and Flexible
The IBM 45E2695 tape drive is scalable and flexible, making it suitable for growing businesses and organizations. The SAS interface used in this tape drive allows users to connect multiple tape drives to a single computer or storage system, which can increase storage capacity and improve performance. The tape drive is also easy to install and can be configured to work with a wide range of backup software applications.
Finally, the IBM 45E2695 tape drive is a reliable and cost-effective solution for storing and archiving large amounts of data. Its LTO technology,
