The IBM 46X6071 is an LTO-4 HH SAS Tape Drive that is designed to deliver high-capacity and reliable data storage. The tape drive is a popular choice for organizations that require robust backup and archive solutions. In this article, we will take a closer look at the features and benefits of the IBM 46X6071 tape drive.
The IBM 46X6071 is a tape drive that utilizes the LTO-4 technology to provide high-capacity data storage. It is a half-height (HH) drive, which means that it is designed to fit in a standard 5.25-inch drive bay. The SAS interface provides a fast and reliable data transfer rate of up to 120 MB/s (native) and up to 240 MB/s (compressed). The IBM 46X6071 tape drive is backward compatible with LTO-3 media, which means that it can read and write LTO-3 tapes.
The IBM 46X6071 tape drive has a native capacity of 800 GB and a compressed capacity of 1600 GB. This means that it can store up to 800 GB of data on a single LTO-4 tape. With compression, the capacity can be doubled to 1600 GB. The compression ratio depends on the type of data being stored. For example, uncompressed text files can be compressed to a greater extent than compressed video files.
PerformanceThe IBM 46X6071 tape drive offers a fast and reliable data transfer rate of up to 120 MB/s (native) and up to 240 MB/s (compressed). This means that it can transfer up to 800 GB of data in less than 7 hours (native) or less than 4 hours (compressed). The performance of the tape drive depends on the type of data being transferred and the configuration of the system.
ReliabilityThe IBM 46X6071 tape drive is designed to provide reliable data storage. It utilizes the LTO-4 technology, which is known for its high-capacity and reliability. The tape drive uses a robust error correction code (ECC) to ensure data integrity. It also features a self-cleaning mechanism that helps to reduce the risk of errors due to dust and debris. The tape drive has a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 250,000 hours, which means that it is designed to last for a long time.
CompatibilityThe IBM 46X6071 tape drive is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and Unix. It supports a variety of backup software, such as IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Symantec Backup Exec, and CommVault Simpana. The tape drive is also backward compatible with LTO-3 media, which means that it can read and write LTO-3 tapes.
Ease of useThe IBM 46X6071 tape drive is easy to install and use. It features a simple interface that allows users to easily configure and manage the tape drive. The tape drive comes with a user manual and installation guide that provide step-by-step instructions on how to set up and use the tape drive. The tape drive also features a display panel that provides information on the status of the drive and the tape.
