Overland-Tandberg Tandberg SDLT320 Ext Storage drive Tape Cartridge 160 GB

The Tandberg SDLT320 takes capacity and performance to new heights. It has a compressed capacity of 320GB and a transfer rate of 32MB/sec. This is the second generation of the DLT Super drives and is backward read and write compatible to the


Broadest industry acceptance
DLTtape systems are recognized worldwide as the industry standard, assuring end users of reliable, high performance tape storage solutions and long-term investment protection. Like its predecessors, the SDLT 320 is fully compatible with the world’s leading server brands, operating systems and backup software. And users can count on Super DLTtape to grow with their storage needs, with a six-generation roadmap that offers a clearly defined growth path. Building on the successful DLTtape platform, the new SDLT 320 offers an increase in capacity of almost four times. It almost triples the data transfer rate of the biggest selling midrange tape drive, the DLT 8000, making it the ultimate solution for today’s demanding backup environments.
Field-proven reliability
The SDLT 320 is based on the technology platform that more companies trust to protect their business critical information assets than any other: DLTtape. Specifically designed for the high duty-cycle requirements of high-end and automated environments, SDLT 320 drives are rated at 250,000 hours Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) at a 100% duty cycle. A low tension tape design, simple tape path and the proven reliability of linear serpentine tape recording combine to provide users with rock solid reliability and data integrity. Stringent drive and media specifications mean that Super DLTtape ™ media is fully interchangeable between all Super DLT tape drives.
Capacity and performance
The SDLT 320 is the ultimate drive for today’s exploding storage requirements and shrinking backup windows. Its low cost per gigabyte and industry leading density make it ideal for today’s automated tape environments. The SDLT 320 can backup 115GB per hour (in compressed mode), and can store 320GB on a single cartridge (compressed). Additionally, all versions are backward read compatible with other DLT storage solutions, so users of DLTtape drives can seamlessly migrate to the Super DLTtape platform as their storage needs grow. What’s more, the SDLT 320 uses the same Super DLTtape 1 media as the SDLT 220, and is fully backward read and write compatible with cartridges written by the SDLT 220. The technology is available in internal and tabletop versions, the SDLT 320 combines the best of proven optical and magnetic technologies to offer users remarkable improvements in capacity and performance. Super DLTtape’s laser-guided optical servo brings the capability of optical tracking technology to tape for the first time, while an advanced Partial Response Maximum Likelihood (PRML) read channel leverages proven disk drive technology to bring new levels of performance and data integrity.
