The 46X5645 IBM LTO-4 SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) HH (Half Height) Internal Tape Drive is a backup and archival storage device designed for use in servers and other computing systems. This tape drive supports the LTO-4 tape format, which offers a native storage capacity of 800 GB and a compressed storage capacity of up to 1.6 TB.
The performance of the 46X5645 IBM LTO-4 SAS HH Internal Tape Drive is characterized by its data transfer rates. The drive has a native data transfer rate of up to 120 MB/s, which means it can write or read data at a rate of up to 120 megabytes per second without compression. With compression enabled, the drive can achieve a maximum data transfer rate of up to 240 MB/s.
The actual data transfer rates achieved by the 46X5645 IBM LTO-4 SAS HH Internal Tape Drive will depend on a number of factors, such as the speed of the server's SAS interface, the performance of the host system, and the level of compression used. In addition, the tape drive features a 3 Gbps SAS interface, which is capable of transmitting data at a maximum rate of 3 gigabits per second.
Security and Data EncryptionThe 46X5645 IBM 800/1600GB LTO-4 SAS HH Internal Tape Drive is a high-capacity storage solution designed for businesses and organizations that require reliable and secure data storage. Security and data encryption are essential components of this tape drive, and IBM has implemented several measures to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data stored on it.
One of the primary security features of the IBM 46X5645 LTO-4 tape drive is hardware-based encryption. The tape drive has an onboard encryption engine that uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256-bit encryption to protect data as it is written to the tape. This hardware-based encryption ensures that data is secured in transit and at rest, and it provides an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access or data breaches.
In addition to hardware-based encryption, the IBM 46X5645 LTO-4 tape drive supports the Linear Tape File System (LTFS), which provides a simple and intuitive way to access and manage data on the tape. LTFS enables users to drag and drop files to and from the tape drive, much like they would with a USB drive. LTFS also supports encryption and decryption of individual files, allowing users to encrypt sensitive data selectively.
The IBM 46X5645 LTO-4 tape drive also includes several other security features, including a tamper-evident enclosure that alerts users if the drive has been opened or compromised. The drive also has a write-once-read-many (WORM) function that prevents data from being overwritten, ensuring that data is not accidentally or intentionally altered or deleted.
Reliability and DurabilityThe 46X5645 IBM 800/1600GB LTO-4 SAS HH Internal Tape Drive is a high-capacity tape drive designed for use in enterprise-level backup and archival systems. Here are some key points about its reliability and durability:
- Reliability: The 46X5645 IBM LTO-4 tape drive is a reliable storage device that can provide high-performance data transfer rates of up to 120 MB/s (native). It uses advanced error correction techniques to ensure data integrity, and its read/write head is designed for longevity and durability. Additionally, IBM has a reputation for producing reliable tape drives that can handle heavy workloads.
- Durability: The 46X5645 IBM LTO-4 tape drive is designed to withstand heavy usage over an extended period. It has a Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) of 250,000 hours, which means that it is expected to operate without failure for an average of 250,000 hours of use. It also has a robust internal cooling system that helps to prevent overheating and extends its lifespan.
- Tape Cartridge Durability: The LTO-4 tape cartridges that this drive uses are also designed for durability. They have a tape head life of up to 50,000 passes, which means that the tape can be read and written to up to 50,000 times before it begins to wear out. Additionally, the tape cartridges have a shelf life of up to 30 years, which makes them ideal for long-term archival storage.
- Compatibility: The 46X5645 IBM LTO-4 tape drive is compatible with a wide range of software and hardware systems, which makes it a flexible and versatile solution for enterprise storage needs. It is also backward-compatible with LTO-3 cartridges, which means that users can migrate their data to the newer LTO-4 format without losing access to their old data.
