Quantum DLT7000 DLT Tape Drive

       Quantum DLT™ 7000

 
      Quantum DLT 7000 Half-inch Drives
      Quantum DLT 7000 half-inch cartridge tape drives provide leadership in data
      storage and retrieval for the most demanding data back-up, archive, and near
      on-line storage applications. The tape drive features a native transfer rate of
      more than 5 megabytes (MB) per second, with a native capacity of 35
      gigabytes (GB). Building on the traditional strengths of DLT tape technology,
      the DLT 7000 tape drives provide significant advantages in performance and
      capacity over any others in their class.

  The Market
              With the growth of workgroup networking,
              enterprise computing, corporate intranets, and
              the Internet, dependable data backup,
              archiving, and storage are vital top-level
              concerns of every information manager.
              Quantum DLT™ 7000 half-inch cartridge tape
              drives address these needs by delivering
              dependable data storage and retrieval along with major advantages in
              performance and capacity versus all other products in their class. That's why
              today, the Quantum DLT 7000 is the tape system of choice for mid-range
              computers, network servers, high-end workstations, and mainframe environments
              running UNIX, NetWare®, and Windows® NT, as well as proprietary operating
              systems.
 
The Evolution of a Leader
              We built the Quantum DLT 7000 on a very solid foundation—the same
              performance-proven linear recording technology, precision tape guiding system,
              and adaptive control mechanism of previous generation DLT drives. Then, we
              raised the standard even higher through a number of refinements and technical
              innovations. For instance, the DLT 7000 features a new, innovative Symmetric
              Phase Recording Technique (SPR™) and a flexible four-channel recording
              system to achieve a native transfer rate in excess of 5 megabytes per second and
              a native capacity of 35 gigabytes. The DLT 7000 also utilizes the same efficient,
              performance-proven data compression and advanced tape directory functionality
              used in previous generations of DLT products.
 
Quantum Quality & Reliability
              Like all Quantum products, Quantum DLT tape drives set the standard for
              performance and reliability. For instance, head life is rated at more than 30,000
              hours. Media durability is estimated in excess of 1,000,000 media passes. To
              ensure complete data accuracy, the drive also features Reed-Solomon Error
              Correction Code, a 64-bit Cyclical Redundancy Check (CRC), and parity
              checking on the SCSI bus and internal data path. This high level of precision and
              reliability is why you can always trust your data to a Quantum drive.
