Backup and data archiving Capabilities
The 46X6073 IBM 3TB LTO-5 SAS Internal Tape Drive is a high-capacity tape drive designed for use in data backup and archiving applications. It uses the LTO-5 format, which allows for a storage capacity of 3 terabytes (TB) of data per tape cartridge. The drive is connected to the host system using a SAS interface, which provides fast data transfer rates and reliable performance.
One of the key features of the 46X6073 IBM 3TB LTO-5 SAS Internal Tape Drive is its ability to perform data backups quickly and efficiently. The drive uses a high-speed data compression algorithm that can compress data by up to 2.5:1, which means that 3TB of data can be stored on a single tape cartridge. Additionally, the drive supports a fast data transfer rate of up to 280 MB/s, which means that large amounts of data can be backed up in a short amount of time.
The 46X6073 IBM 3TB LTO-5 SAS Internal Tape Drive also has advanced data archiving capabilities. The drive uses a WORM (Write Once, Read Many) feature that prevents data from being overwritten or deleted, which makes it ideal for archiving important data that needs to be preserved for long periods of time. Additionally, the drive uses advanced data encryption algorithms that can protect data from unauthorized access, which is essential for sensitive or confidential data.
