The 46X2490 IBM 1.5TB/3TB LTO-5 FC HH Loader Module Tape Drive is a high-performance tape drive designed for use in data storage systems that require high-capacity and reliable backup and archiving.
Capacity: The drive offers a native storage capacity of 1.5TB and a compressed storage capacity of up to 3TB, which is achieved through compression algorithms that can typically achieve a 2:1 compression ratio.
Performance: The performance of the 46X2490 IBM LTO-5 tape drive is measured by its data transfer rate, which refers to the amount of data that can be transferred in a given amount of time. The data transfer rate for this tape drive is up to 140MB/sec (native) and up to 280MB/sec (compressed).
Other performance benchmarks for the 46X2490 IBM tape drive include its average file access time, which is typically less than 50 seconds, and its average load time, which is typically less than 20 seconds. These benchmarks make the tape drive suitable for use in high-performance data storage systems that require fast access to data.
The tape drive also features a half-height form factor and uses a fiber channel interface for connecting to data storage systems. The drive also features a loader module, which allows for automated loading and unloading of tapes, reducing the need for manual intervention and improving system reliability.
Security and Encryption FeaturesThe 46X2490 IBM 1.5TB/3TB LTO-5 FC HH Loader Module Tape Drive is a high-capacity tape drive designed for enterprise-level backup and archival storage needs. It incorporates a number of security and encryption features to help protect your data.
- Encryption: The LTO-5 tape drive supports hardware-based AES-256 encryption, which provides strong protection for your data. This encryption is done at the drive level, which means that even if the tape is stolen, the data on it will be unreadable without the encryption key.
- WORM: Write Once Read Many (WORM) is a feature that allows you to write data to the tape once, and then prevent it from being overwritten or erased. This is useful for compliance and legal requirements where data must be retained in an unaltered state.
- Media partitioning: The LTO-5 tape drive supports media partitioning, which allows you to divide the tape into logical sections. Each section can be assigned its own encryption key, which provides an additional layer of security.
- Library Managed Encryption: The LTO-5 tape drive supports Library Managed Encryption, which allows the tape library to manage the encryption keys for the tapes. This means that the encryption keys can be rotated automatically, and that the keys can be stored securely in the library's memory.
- Secure Path: The LTO-5 tape drive supports Secure Path, which is a feature that provides redundant paths to the tape library. This ensures that the data is always available even if one path fails, and it also provides an additional layer of security by protecting against path failures.
- Data integrity: The LTO-5 tape drive incorporates a number of features to ensure data integrity, including error correction codes, data compression, and automatic head cleaning.
The IBM 46X2490 is a LTO-5 tape drive that supports both 1.5TB and 3TB tape cartridges. It is designed for use with IBM System Storage tape libraries, and it features a Fibre Channel (FC) interface for connectivity.
The FC interface on the 46X2490 tape drive supports two connectivity options: point-to-point and loop. In point-to-point mode, the tape drive is connected directly to a Fibre Channel host adapter in a server or storage system. In loop mode, the tape drive is connected to a Fibre Channel switch or hub, along with other devices.
The 46X2490 tape drive also supports several other interface options, including:
- SCSI: The tape drive can be configured with a SCSI interface for compatibility with older systems that do not have Fibre Channel connectivity.
- SAS: The tape drive can be connected to a SAS interface using a SAS-to-FC converter. This provides compatibility with SAS-based storage systems.
- Ethernet: The tape drive can be managed over a network using an Ethernet connection. This allows for remote management and monitoring of the tape drive.
