Description
Product overview
The AG511A HP 36/72GB Storageworks DAT72 SCSI Int HH Tape Drive is a high-quality tape drive designed for use in small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) and enterprise environments. This tape drive provides an affordable and reliable way to back up and restore data, ensuring that critical information is protected in the event of data loss.
Capacity
The AG511A tape drive has a native capacity of 36GB and a compressed capacity of 72GB. This means that it can store large amounts of data on a single tape cartridge. The compressed capacity is achieved through the use of compression techniques that allow more data to be stored on a single tape.
Compatibility
The AG511A tape drive is compatible with the Digital Audio Tape (DAT) format. This format is widely used in the IT industry for backing up and restoring data. The tape drive is also compatible with the DDS-5 standard, which provides fast and reliable backup and restore capabilities.
Interface
The AG511A tape drive uses a SCSI interface. SCSI stands for Small Computer System Interface, and it is a standard interface used for connecting storage devices to a computer. The SCSI interface provides fast data transfer rates, making it ideal for backup and restore operations.
Internal Half-Height Design
The AG511A tape drive is designed to be installed internally in a computer system. It is a half-height tape drive, which means that it is smaller and more compact than full-height tape drives. The compact design of the tape drive allows it to be installed in smaller computer systems, making it ideal for use in SMBs.
Storageworks Brand
The AG511A tape drive is part of the Storageworks brand, which is a line of storage devices produced by HP. The Storageworks brand is known for its high-quality and reliable storage solutions, making it a popular choice for SMBs and enterprise environments.
Data Transfer Rates
The AG511A tape drive has a maximum data transfer rate of 3.2MB/s. This means that it can transfer up to 3.2 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 AG511A tape drive does not support hardware-based data encryption. This means that data cannot be encrypted before it is written to the tape. However, software-based encryption can be used to encrypt data before it is backed up to the tape drive.
WORM Support
The AG511A tape drive does not support Write Once Read Many (WORM) functionality. This means that data can be modified or deleted once it has been written to the tape. However, software-based WORM functionality can be used to ensure that data cannot be modified or deleted once it has been backed up to the tape drive.
Overall, the AG511A HP 36/72GB Storageworks DAT72 SCSI Int HH Tape Drive is a high-quality tape drive that provides an affordable and reliable way to back up and restore data. It is compatible with the DAT format and the DDS-5 standard, making it a versatile storage solution for SMBs and enterprise environments. The internal half-height design of the tape drive allows it to be installed in smaller computer systems, while the Storageworks brand ensures high-quality and reliable storage solutions.General Information about the HP AG511A
