Features and BenefitsThe Y373M Dell 800/1600GB LTO-4 SAS HH Internal Tape Drive offers several key features and benefits that make it an ideal solution for high-capacity backup and archive storage.
High Capacity Storage
One of the key features of the Y373M is its high capacity storage capabilities. The drive has a native storage capacity of 800GB, which can be expanded up to 1600GB with compression. This makes it ideal for businesses and organizations that need to store large amounts of data, such as database backups, video and audio archives, and other high-volume data applications.
Fast Data Transfer Rates
Another key feature of the Y373M is its fast data transfer rates. The drive can transfer data at speeds of up to 120MB/s (native) or 240MB/s (compressed), which allows for fast and efficient data backup and retrieval. This is particularly important for businesses and organizations that need to quickly access data for mission-critical applications.
Reliability and Durability

Compatibility and Flexibility
The Y373M is compatible with a wide range of server and storage systems, including Dell PowerEdge servers and other systems that support SAS interfaces. This makes it a versatile and flexible solution that can be used in a variety of applications and configurations.
How Y373M Dell 800/1600GB LTO-4 SAS HH Internal Tape Drive Works
The Y373M Dell 800/1600GB LTO-4 SAS HH Internal Tape Drive works by using magnetic tape to store and retrieve data. The drive uses the LTO-4 (Linear Tape-Open) format, which is a widely used standard for tape storage in the enterprise and midrange markets.
When data is written to the tape, it is stored in blocks along the length of the tape. The tape is divided into tracks, which are perpendicular to the length of the tape. The drive uses a read/write head to write data to the tape or retrieve data from the tape.
To write data to the tape, the drive uses a magnetic write head to create a magnetic field that aligns the magnetic particles on the tape in a specific pattern. The pattern represents the data that is being written to the tape.
To read data from the tape, the drive uses a magnetic read head to detect the magnetic pattern on the tape. The read head converts the magnetic pattern into an electrical signal, which is then decoded by the drive and sent to the host system for processing.
