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.
