IBM System Storage TS2230 Tape Drive Express Model
 |
The IBM System Storage TS2230 Tape Drive Express Model (TS2230) is an excellent tape storage solution for entry-level businesses requiring backup or low-cost, real-time archival of their data within a small window of time—high-capacity and performance can meet the most demanding requirements. The new TS2230 has a storage capacity of up to 800GB (with 2:1 compression) in conjunction with the new IBM TotalStorage® LTO® Ultrium® 400GB data cartridge, which is double the capacity of the Ultrium 2 technology. Along with its high capacity, the performance of the TS2230 Tape Drive has more than doubled over the previous half-high LTO generations for a native data transfer rate of up to 80 MBps. The TS2230 Tape Drive provides an excellent alternative to slower and smaller capacity 1/4- inch, 4 mm and 8 mm DLT/SDLT tape drives.
