Data Transfer and Interface Speeds

Accessing your data easily while keeping it secure is a priority. Depending on your data center's size, consider whether you require relative small data transfer speeds of about 300Mbps or large data transfer speeds exceeding 1Tbps with super-fast SAS interfaces up to 10Gbps or more.

From DAT to DDS to LTO, tape drives feature a variety of drive types designed to enhance different applications when used as part of a tape automation drive. Consider whether a linear serpentine or helical scan recording method best suits your backup needs.
