The 95P5219 IBM LTO-3 Fibre Channel Internal Tape Drive is a data storage device that uses magnetic tapes to read and write data. It is designed to be used in conjunction with backup and archival software to provide secure and reliable data storage. In this article, we will explore the features and specifications of the 95P5219 IBM LTO-3 Fibre Channel Internal Tape Drive.
A tape drive is a device used for reading and writing data onto magnetic tape cartridges. It works by moving the tape past a read/write head that magnetically records or reads the data onto the tape. Tape drives have been used for decades as a reliable form of data storage, and they continue to be used today in many industries.
The 95P5219 IBM LTO-3 Fibre Channel Internal Tape Drive
The 95P5219 IBM LTO-3 Fibre Channel Internal Tape Drive is an internal tape drive that is designed to be installed directly into a computer or server. It uses a Fibre Channel interface to connect to the host system and is capable of storing up to 400GB of uncompressed data or up to 800GB of compressed data on a single tape cartridge. This makes it an ideal solution for organizations that need to backup or archive large amounts of data.
Fibre Channel InterfaceThe 95P5219 IBM LTO-3 Fibre Channel Internal Tape Drive uses a Fibre Channel interface to connect to a computer or server. Fibre Channel is a high-speed, point-to-point interface that is commonly used in enterprise-level storage systems due to its speed and reliability. The Fibre Channel interface provides a fast and secure connection between the tape drive and the host system.
Internal Form FactorThe 95P5219 IBM LTO-3 Fibre Channel Internal Tape Drive is an internal device that is designed to be installed directly into a computer or server. It occupies a standard 5.25-inch drive bay and is compatible with a range of server platforms, including IBM System x, IBM eServer pSeries, and IBM eServer iSeries. The internal form factor of the tape drive makes it easy to integrate into existing server environments.
PerformanceThe 95P5219 IBM LTO-3 Fibre Channel Internal Tape Drive has a maximum data transfer rate of 80MB/s assuming the data is compressed. If the data is uncompressed, the transfer rate drops to 40MB/s. These transfer rates are relatively slow compared to modern solid-state storage devices, but they are still considered to be fast for tape drives. The slower transfer rates are offset by the large capacity of the tape cartridges, making tape drives ideal for archival storage or backup applications.
CompatibilityThe 95P5219 IBM LTO-3 Fibre Channel Internal Tape Drive is designed to be compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and various UNIX variants. It is also compatible with a range of backup software packages, including IBM Tivoli Storage Manager. This wide range of compatibility makes the tape drive a versatile option for organizations that need to store and backup data across multiple platforms.
ReliabilityTape drives are known for their reliability, and the 95P5219 IBM LTO-3 Fibre Channel Internal Tape Drive is no exception. The LTO-3 format is designed to be highly reliable, with a claimed average media life of 30 years. The tape drive itself is also designed to be highly reliable, with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 250,000 hours. This means that the drive should be able to run continuously for over 28 years before experiencing a failure.
