Description
Product overview
The AD612-62001 is an HP 400/800GB Ultrium 960 LTO3 SCSI LVD Module Field Upg Tape Drive. This tape drive is a high-performance storage device that is designed for use in enterprise environments. It is compatible with the Linear Tape-Open (LTO) standard and provides reliable backup and restore capabilities for data-intensive applications.
Capacity
The AD612-62001 tape drive has a maximum native capacity of 400GB and a maximum compressed capacity of 800GB. This means that it can store large amounts of data on a single tape cartridge. The capacity of the tape drive can be increased further by using compression techniques that allow more data to be stored on a single tape.
Compatibility
The AD612-62001 tape drive is compatible with the LTO-3 standard. This means that it can read and write data to LTO-3 tapes. It is also backward-compatible with LTO-2 tapes, which means that it can read data from LTO-2 tapes. However, it cannot write data to LTO-2 tapes.
Interface
The AD612-62001 tape drive uses a SCSI LVD interface. SCSI stands for Small Computer System Interface, and it is a standard interface used for connecting storage devices to a computer. LVD stands for Low Voltage Differential, and it is a type of SCSI interface that provides better performance and longer cable lengths than other SCSI interfaces.
Field Upgradeable
The AD612-62001 tape drive is field upgradeable. This means that it can be upgraded in the field without the need to send it back to the manufacturer. Upgrades can include firmware updates or hardware upgrades that provide additional features or capabilities.
Tape Drive Module
The AD612-62001 tape drive is a module that can be installed in a tape library or a standalone tape drive enclosure. A tape library is a device that can hold multiple tape drives and tape cartridges, and it is used for large-scale backup and restore operations. A standalone tape drive enclosure is a device that holds a single tape drive and is used for smaller backup and restore operations.
Ultrium 960
The AD612-62001 tape drive is an Ultrium 960 tape drive. Ultrium is the brand name for the LTO standard, and it is used to indicate that a tape drive or tape cartridge is compatible with the LTO standard. The Ultrium 960 specification is the third generation of the LTO standard, and it provides faster data transfer rates and higher capacity than the previous generations.
Data Transfer Rates
The AD612-62001 tape drive has a maximum data transfer rate of 80MB/s. This means that it can transfer up to 80 megabytes of data per second. The actual data transfer rate may be lower depending on the performance of the SCSI interface and the performance of the host computer.
Data Encryption
The AD612-62001 tape drive supports hardware-based data encryption. This means that data can be encrypted before it is written to the tape, and it can be decrypted when it is read from the tape. Hardware-based encryption provides better security than software-based encryption because it is more difficult to hack or bypass.
WORM Support
The AD612-62001 tape drive supports Write Once Read Many (WORM) functionality. This means that data can be written to the tape once and then it cannot be modified or deleted. WORM functionality is useful for regulatory compliance and for preserving data integrity.
Overall, the AD612-62001 HP 400/800GB Ultrium 960 LTO3 SCSI LVD Module Field Upg Tape Drive is a high-performance storage device that is designed for use in enterprise environments.General Information about this HP AD612-62001
