The IBM 95P4400 LTO Ultrium-4 Tape Drive is a high-performance, external tape drive that utilizes Linear Tape-Open (LTO) technology. It has a storage capacity of 800/1600GB (compressed/native) and a transfer rate of up to 120MB/s (compressed). The drive features a SCSI LVD interface, which allows for fast data transfer between the drive and a host computer.
The IBM 95P4400 uses LTO Ultrium-4 tape cartridges, which offer a higher storage density and improved data transfer speeds compared to previous generations of LTO tapes. The drive also includes advanced data security features, such as data encryption and WORM (Write-Once, Read-Many) support, to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of stored data.
The IBM 95P4400 LTO Ultrium-4 Tape Drive is designed for use in small to medium-sized businesses and organizations, as well as in data centers, to provide a reliable and cost-effective solution for data backup and archival.
Comparison with other LTO Tape Drive ModelsWhen compared to other LTO tape drive models, the IBM 95P4400 LTO Ultrium-4 Tape Drive offers several advantages:
- Higher storage capacity: The IBM 95P4400 has a storage capacity of 800/1600GB (compressed/native), which is higher than the storage capacity of previous LTO generations (LTO-3 and LTO-2).
- Faster data transfer rates: The IBM 95P4400 has a data transfer rate of up to 120MB/s (compressed), which is faster than the data transfer rates of previous LTO generations.
- Advanced data security features: The IBM 95P4400 includes advanced data security features, such as data encryption and WORM support, which are not available in earlier LTO tape drive models.
- Improved tape durability: LTO Ultrium-4 tapes have been improved with better durability than the earlier generations.
- Lower cost per GB: LTO Ultrium-4 tapes are cheaper than the earlier generations.
In comparison to other LTO-4 tape drive models, the IBM 95P4400 has similar specifications, with some other vendors offering slightly higher native storage capacity. However, the IBM 95P4400 may have better compatibility with IBM servers and other IBM products, as well as IBM's reputation for good customer service and support.
It's worth noting that LTO-5, LTO-6 and LTO-7 are also available in the market, with even higher storage capacities and faster data transfer rates. But these drives are usually more expensive, and their tapes also costlier.
Benefits of using an LTO Ultrium-4 Tape DriveThere are several benefits to using an LTO Ultrium-4 tape drive, such as the IBM 95P4400, including:
- High storage capacity: LTO Ultrium-4 tapes have a storage capacity of 800/1600GB (compressed/native), which is higher than the storage capacity of previous LTO generations. This allows users to store more data on a single tape, reducing the need for additional tapes and tape drives.
- Fast data transfer rates: LTO Ultrium-4 tapes have a data transfer rate of up to 120MB/s (compressed), which is faster than the data transfer rates of previous LTO generations. This allows users to backup and restore data more quickly.
- Advanced data security features: LTO Ultrium-4 tape drives, such as the IBM 95P4400, include advanced data security features, such as data encryption and WORM support, which help to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of stored data.
- Reliability and durability: LTO Ultrium tapes have been designed to be durable and reliable, with a long archival life. This makes them ideal for long-term data storage and archival.
- Cost-effective: LTO Ultrium tapes are a cost-effective solution for data backup and archival, as they offer high storage capacity and fast data transfer rates at a relatively low cost.
- Ease of use: LTO Ultrium tape drives, such as the IBM 95P4400, are easy to install, set up, and use, making them a convenient option for businesses and organizations of all sizes.
- Compatible with other tapes: LTO Ultrium tapes are backward-compatible with earlier LTO generations, so you can use older tapes with an LTO-4 drive, and you can use LTO-4 tapes with earlier generation drives, although with a lower capacity and lower speed.
- Scalable: LTO technology is a scalable solution, as newer generations of LTO drives and tapes will continue to be released with higher storage capacities and faster data transfer rates, so users can upgrade their tape drives as needed.
