[clue-tech] Looking for a tapedrive

[Jef Barnhart]

Check out the LTO Ultrium series of tape drives. They are fast and work
well with linux. Scsi interface. Not cheap. I don't sell them just ended
up getting on for a back up system not to long a go and work great.

Benefits of Using Ultrium Format:

High Capacity

    * The Ultrium format generation 3 allows for 800GB capacity (2:1
      compression) in a single compact cartridge. As with previous
      generations, the cartridge is smaller than existing single-reel tape
      cartridges.
    * Ultrium format Generation 2 allows for 400GB capacity (2:1
      compression) in a single compact cartridge. Like Generation 1, the
      cartridge is smaller than existing single-reel tape cartridges.
    * Ultrium format Generation 1 allows for 200GB capacity (2:1
      compression) in a single compact cartridge. The cartridge is smaller
      than existing single-reel tape cartridges.

High Data Transfer Range

    * Ultrium format generation 3 provides data transfer rates of 80 ­ 160
      MB/second (2:1 compression) for the third generation of the 8-channel
      version.
    * Ultrium format Generation 2 provides for data transfer rates of 40-80
      MB/ second (2:1 compression) for the second generation of the
      8-channel version.
    * Ultrium format Generation 1 provides for data transfer rates of 20-40
      MB/ second (2:1 compression) for the first generation of the 8-channel
      version.
