Tandberg 440LTO tape drive

Tandberg Data has introduced the second generation of LTO drives, the Tandberg 440LTO. This tape drive offers twice the data transfer rates and doubles the capacity of the LTO1 generation to cope with the rapid data growth and shrinking backu


Compatibility with first generation LTO technology
The Tandberg Storage Solution 440LTO can also help improve performance when used with firstgeneration Ultrium media; however, using Ultrium 2 media can require fewer tapes to help lower cost of ownership. Coexistence with firstgeneration Ultrium tape technology is designed to allow for upgrades, helping to protect customers' investments in drives, media and tape automation platforms.
Performance and capacity
The 440LTO has got a capacity of 400GB with a transfer rate of 252GB per hour. An Ultra-160 SCSI LVD interface is included and the 440LTO is backward read and write compatible with the LTO1. Furthermore, it provides Digital Speed Matching (DSM) and an enhanced servo positioning. The drive warranty is 3 years.
Flexible attachment
The Ultra-160 SCSI attachment is designed to allow standalone servers to exploit the tape drive when natively attached.
Low total cost of ownership
Exploiting the performance and capacity of the Tandberg 440LTO can help reduce the number of tape cartridges, tape drives and tape libraries required in a storage environment, allowing existing customers to expand their current installation and new customers to install a cost- effective solution.
Second-generation enhancements
The Tandberg Storage Solution 440LTO features several technology enhancements designed to help optimize data throughput, increase cartridgecapacity and provide excellent data protection. Digital speed matching (DSM) is designed to allow the drive to adjust its native data rate to closely match the host data rate. This feature, alongwith an increased buffer, can help improve throughput in an environment where the host data rate is less than optimal. A 64 MB buffer works in combination with DSM to help mask the impact of data rate fluctuations by helping reduce backhitch operations to allow the tape drive to perform at its optimal speed. The Partial Response Maximum Likelihood (PRML) channel is used to read and write new tapes, while maintaining first- generation Ultrium peak-detect technology to allow backwards compatibility.
Complete backup package
The Tandberg Storage Solution 440LTO contains the appropriate data and cleaning cartridge and Tandberg accredited award winning backup software.
