The LTO half-high tape drive is a SCSI device that can be used
for backing up, restoring and archiving data. These files can include
multimedia, imaging, transaction processing, large databases, and
other storage-intensive applications. Each tape cartridge can store
up to 200 GB of data (uncompressed), or up to 400 GB of data (compressed),
assuming a 2 to 1 compression ratio.
Note: The actual capacity varies
depending on the application, the type of data, and the tape cartridge.
200 GB is typical and 400 GB is possible when the Data Compression
setting is activated. The default setting of Data Compression is controlled
by the host system. The user and the application software can control
the activation or deactivation of the data compression setting. The
drive can optimally achieve a 2:1 compression ratio.
The LTO half-high tape drive FRU part number is 23R3248
The custom card identification number (CCIN): 63A0

cartridges.
- Uses the self-configuring SCSI device driver native to the host
operating system.
- Can be used as an bootable device, depending on the host system
configuration.
