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 AG714A 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 AG714A 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 AG714A tape drive uses a USB interface. USB stands for Universal Serial Bus, and it is a standard interface used for connecting peripheral devices to a computer. The USB interface provides fast data transfer rates, making it ideal for backup and restore operations.
Internal Design
The AG714A tape drive is designed to be installed internally in a computer system. The internal design of the tape drive ensures that it is protected from external damage, making it ideal for use in environments where the tape drive may be exposed to physical stress.
DDS-5 Standard
The AG714A tape drive supports the DDS-5 standard. This standard provides fast and reliable backup and restore capabilities. The DDS-5 standard is widely used in the IT industry for backing up and restoring data, making the AG714A tape drive a versatile storage solution for SMBs and enterprise environments.
Data Transfer Rates
The AG714A 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 USB interface and the performance of the host computer.
Data Encryption
The AG714A 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 AG714A 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 AG714A HP 36/72GB DDS-5 (DAT-72) USB Internal 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 design of the tape drive ensures that it is protected from external damage, while the USB interface provides fast data transfer rates. Although it does not support hardware-based data encryption or WORM functionality, software-based encryption and WORM functionality can be used to ensure the security of backed up data.General Information about this HP AG714A
