Description
Product Overview of the IBM 23R3214
The IBM 23R3214 is a high-performance, internal tape drive that uses Linear Tape-Open (LTO) Ultrium-2 technology. It has a capacity of 200/400GB (native/compressed) and uses the SCSI/LVD interface. This drive is designed for use in high-demand, data-intensive environments such as data centers and large-scale backup and archiving operations. It features a compact, half-height form factor and is suitable for use in both rack-mounted and standalone systems. The IBM 23R3214 offers fast data transfer rates, high-reliability, and long-term data preservation, making it a suitable choice for organizations looking to secure their data for long-term storage.
Performance and Capacity
The IBM 23R3214 LTO Ultrium-2 tape drive offers fast data transfer rates, with a native data transfer rate of up to 24MB/s and a compressed data transfer rate of up to 48MB/s. It has a capacity of 200GB (native) and 400GB (compressed) per cartridge, allowing for large amounts of data to be stored on a single tape.
The drive also has a low media-to-drive interchange rate, ensuring that data can be stored for long periods of time without degradation. Additionally, the drive is built to withstand the rigors of heavy use, with a Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) of over 300,000 hours. The IBM 23R3214 LTO Ultrium-2 tape drive is ideal for high-volume data backup and archival storage and can be used for multiple generations of data storage.
Durability and Reliability
The IBM 23R3214 LTO Ultrium-2 tape drive is designed to be highly durable and reliable. It features a Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) of over 300,000 hours, which means that the drive is built to withstand the rigors of heavy use and can be relied upon to store data for long periods of time.
The drive also has a low media-to-drive interchange rate, which helps to ensure that data can be stored for long periods of time without degradation. Additionally, the drive is built with a robust mechanical design that minimizes wear and tear, allowing it to perform consistently over time. The drive also has a built-in self-diagnostics feature that can detect and report any errors or malfunctions, allowing for quick and easy troubleshooting.
The IBM 23R3214 LTO Ultrium-2 tape drive also uses advanced data encryption and compression technology to ensure that data is stored securely and efficiently. This provides an extra layer of security for data and ensures that it can be restored quickly and easily in case of a disaster.
