Description
Product overview
The AH194A HP 800/1600GB Storageworks ESL E-Series Ultrium 1840 LTO-4 FC FH Internal Tape Drive is a high-capacity tape drive designed for use in enterprise environments. This tape drive provides reliable backup and restore capabilities, ensuring that critical information is protected in the event of data loss.
Capacity
The AH194A tape drive has a native capacity of 800GB and a compressed capacity of 1600GB. 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 AH194A tape drive is compatible with the Linear Tape-Open (LTO) format. This format is widely used in the IT industry for backing up and restoring data. The tape drive is also compatible with the LTO-4 standard, which provides fast and reliable backup and restore capabilities.
Interface
The AH194A tape drive uses a Fibre Channel (FC) interface. Fibre Channel is a high-speed interface used for connecting storage devices to a computer network. The FC interface provides fast data transfer rates, making it ideal for backup and restore operations.
Internal Design
The AH194A 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.
LTO-4 Standard
The AH194A tape drive supports the LTO-4 standard. This standard provides fast and reliable backup and restore capabilities. The LTO-4 standard is widely used in the IT industry for backing up and restoring data, making the AH194A tape drive a versatile storage solution for enterprise environments.
Data Transfer Rates
The AH194A tape drive has a maximum data transfer rate of 240MB/s. This means that it can transfer up to 240 megabytes of data per second. The actual data transfer rate may be lower depending on the performance of the FC interface and the performance of the host computer.
Data Encryption
The AH194A tape drive supports hardware-based data encryption. This means that data can be encrypted before it is written to the tape, ensuring the security of backed up data. The tape drive uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm, which is widely used in the IT industry for data encryption.
WORM Support
The AH194A tape drive supports Write Once Read Many (WORM) functionality. This means that data can be written to the tape once and then be read many times, but it cannot be modified or deleted. WORM functionality is used to ensure the integrity of backed up data, preventing accidental or malicious modification or deletion.
Overall, the AH194A HP 800/1600GB Storageworks ESL E-Series Ultrium 1840 LTO-4 FC FH Internal Tape Drive is a high-capacity tape drive that provides reliable backup and restore capabilities. It is compatible with the LTO format and the LTO-4 standard, making it a versatile storage solution for enterprise environments. The internal design of the tape drive ensures that it is protected from external damage, while the FC interface provides fast data transfer rates. The tape drive also supports hardware-based data encryption and WORM functionality, ensuring the security and integrity of backed up data.General Information about this HP AH194A
