1 TB drive
IBM has introduced a one terabyte storage tape drive, which aims to enable clients to protect and archive more information with less cost and less energy usage, and is said to offer the highest capacity and performance of any tape drive in the market.
The IBM System Storage TS1130 Tape Drive is designed to store up to one terabyte of uncompressed data per tape cartridge, and, with a native data rate of 160MBps, storage backups can be completed up to 54% faster than the previous generation drive, IBM says.
Equivalent to storing the text of one million books on a single tape cartridge, the drive is said to be suitable for mid-sized to enterprise clients across financial, life sciences and public sector industries looking for massive data protection, compliance and archive solutions needed over the long term.
"Tape storage is the most green and cost-effective form of data storage available, and the IBM TS1130 Tape Drive will enable clients to address their growing needs for affordable and robust data solutions by storing more data on fewer cartridges, which will save clients valuable time, space, energy and money," says Cindy Grossman, vice-president of Tape and Archive, IBM System Storage.
