T10000 Tape Drive – 500GB, 120MB/s (Fibre, ESCON)

The T10000 Tape Drive combines the highest native data capacity on tape with the highest native throughput of 120 MB per second. It is able to reuse existing StorageTek T10000 media and simplify deployment with broad compatibility with StorageTek libraries and third party applications. Limit your exposure to potentially costly litigation while you support regulatory and compliance policies. Pair the StorageTek T10000 tape drive with the StorageTek L8500 or SL3000 modular library system to accelerate data consolidation efforts. As data center storage needs increase, you manage growth cost effectively when you combine the highest tape capacity on the market with media reusability and ecoefficiencies.

The StorageTek T10000 Tape Drive delivers a potent combination: native capacity of 1 terabyte and performance of 120 MB/sec. You can double capacity in the same footprint while you simplify media management because you manage ewer tapes. Tape-based storage also minimizes power, cooling, and acquisition cost. Compared to disk, tape is much more energy efficient. As a key component of eco-efficient data centers, tape excels in applications as diverse as production, data management, backup/restore, disaster recovery, and archive.
