The 45E6196 IBM 800/1600GB LTO-4 SAS HH Internal Tape Drive is a data storage solution designed for enterprise-level organizations that require high-capacity and high-performance backup and archival storage. This tape drive offers a storage capacity of 800GB for uncompressed data and up to 1.6TB for compressed data. It is compatible with the Linear Tape-Open (LTO) Ultrium 4 standard and supports the Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface. In this article, we will discuss the features and benefits of the 45E6196 IBM tape drive.
Capacity and PerformanceThe 45E6196 IBM tape drive has a storage capacity of 800GB for uncompressed data and up to 1.6TB for compressed data. The drive achieves this high storage capacity by using advanced data compression algorithms that can compress data at a ratio of 2:1. This means that for every 2GB of uncompressed data, the drive can store up to 4GB of compressed data.
In addition to its high storage capacity, the 45E6196 IBM tape drive offers high data transfer rates. It has a maximum data transfer rate of 120MB/s for uncompressed data and up to 240MB/s for compressed data. These high data transfer rates make it an ideal storage solution for backup and archival applications that require large amounts of data to be written and read quickly.
Compatibility and InterfaceThe 45E6196 IBM tape drive is compatible with the LTO Ultrium 4 standard, which is an open tape storage format that is widely adopted by many tape drive manufacturers. This means that the tape drive can read and write to LTO Ultrium 4 cartridges from other manufacturers, making it a versatile and interoperable solution.
The tape drive also supports the SAS interface, which is a point-to-point serial interface that provides high-speed data transfer rates and reliable connectivity. The SAS interface is widely used in enterprise-level storage systems and is known for its scalability, reliability, and high-performance capabilities.
Installation and ManagementThe 45E6196 IBM tape drive is designed to be installed internally in a server or storage system. It has a half-height form factor and can be easily installed in a standard 5.25-inch drive bay. The tape drive also comes with all the necessary mounting hardware and cables to ensure a hassle-free installation process.
The tape drive can be managed using IBM's Tape System Library Manager (TSLM) software, which provides a comprehensive set of tools for managing and monitoring the tape drive. The software allows users to perform tasks such as inventory management, firmware upgrades, and drive diagnostics. The TSLM software also supports remote management, which enables administrators to manage the tape drive from a remote location.
Reliability and Data SecurityThe 45E6196 IBM tape drive is designed for reliability and data security. It uses advanced error correction algorithms and data verification methods to ensure that data is written and read accurately. The tape drive also has a built-in data encryption feature that enables users to encrypt data on the tape drive. This feature ensures that data is secure even if the tape is lost or stolen.
In addition to its data encryption feature, the tape drive also has a Write Once, Read Many (WORM) feature that enables users to write data to the tape once and then prevent it from being overwritten or erased. This feature is commonly used in compliance and regulatory environments where data retention policies require that data be stored in an unalterable format.
Overall, the 45E6196 IBM 800/1600GB LTO-4 SAS HH Internal Tape Drive is a high-performance and reliable data storage solution designed for enterprise-level organizations. It offers a high storage capacity, fast data transfer rates.
