The
Tape Array 5 is a 19-inch rackmount DLTtape storage system providing the
industry's highest density fault tolerant backup. With up to five hot
swappable DLT drives, and dual redundant fans and power supplies, it is
designed for the most demanding high reliability data storage needs,
including large databases, digital video, and pre-press applications.
The Tape Array 5 provides up to 43GB per hour throughput per drive and
up to 80 GB per cartridge. When combined with compatible RAID software
packages, the Tape Array 5 provides multiple RAIT/RAID options,
including Levels 0, 1, 3, and 5.
