Quantum Travan 40 STT3401A-SST - tape drive - Travan - IDE

The Quantum Travan 40 tape drive is the ideal backup solution for entry-level servers, workstations and laptops. Delivering the most cost-effective backup, Quantum provides small businesses and home offices alike with fully removable backup for up to 40GB of data. A Quantum Travan solution is the one you can trust. The Travan 40 drive is easy to use, extremely reliable and affordable. Based on proven, seventh-generation Travan technology, the Quantum Travan 40 tape drive delivers compressed capacities of 40GB and backup speeds of up to 14.4GB/hr. The Quantum Backup Ready Travan solution includes a data cartridge and Yosemite TapeWare XE Server/Workstation backup software. This product offers a choice of an ATAPI/IDE interface or a USB 2.0 desktop configuration. Including Yosemite TapeWare XE server/desktop backup software as well as a free Travan data cartridge, the Quantum Travan 40 offers a complete solution. Unlike most hard drives, it enables complete system restore by backing up what hard drives miss (Windows Registry, browser bookmarks, etc.), and it archives and stores ruggedized media offsite. Travan 40's drive and media combination costs much less than DVD or CD-based backups over time. Also its greater backup capacity averts wasting time on changing media. Quantum Travan's exclusive feature, FastSense, dynamically maps the speed of the data stream from the host server or workstation with that of the tape drive. This eliminates the need for the host, minimizing media and drivewear. A soft-loaded media handling mechanism on the Travan 40 reduces the risk of operator error during tape changes, increasing media life and reliability. With an MTBF up to 370,000 hours, it's easy to see why affordable Quantum Travan solutions are industry leaders in Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). For great products similar to the Travan 40, Quantum recommends the Quantum GoVault removable disk drive (QR-1201-B5-SS40) with 40GB compressed capacity and 14.4GB/hr compressed throughput.
