Description
Product overview of the IBM 46X7402
The IBM 46X7402 LTO-4 HH SAS Tape Drive is a high-performance backup and archival storage solution designed for enterprise-level data centers. It offers high-capacity storage of up to 1.6TB of compressed data on a single cartridge and a fast data transfer rate of up to 120MB/s. In this article, we will explore the features and benefits of the IBM 46X7402 LTO-4 HH SAS Tape Drive in detail.
Linear Tape-Open (LTO) technology is a popular tape storage solution used by many organizations to store and archive their critical data. It is an open-format tape technology developed by a consortium of three technology companies: IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and Quantum. The LTO technology provides an efficient and cost-effective way to store large amounts of data over a long period.
LTO technology uses magnetic tape to store data, which is an ideal solution for backup and archival purposes. Tape storage has a low cost per gigabyte compared to other storage technologies such as hard disk drives and solid-state drives. Tape storage also has a high capacity, making it a suitable solution for long-term data retention.
