Quantum SDLT 320 Tape Drive

• Seamless integration with compatibility to 6-generations of DLT products

• Compressed capacity up to 320GB*

• Compressed performance up to 115GB/hour*

• Certified "Backup Ready" Solution

The Quantum SDLT 320 is the most compatible tape drive available, offering 320GB of compressed capacity and a compressed transfer rate of 32MB/sec. The SDLT 320 protects your existing investment in DLT® Technology with full backward-read compatibility with DLTtape® IV and Super DLTtape® I media. It is also equipped with DLTSage™, a revolutionary data management solution that allows users to manage, predict and prevent system problems.

• Seamless integration with backward read compatibility to six DLT product lines including the market leading DLT 8000.
• 320GB of storage capacity with field-proven DLT reliability
• Enhanced Manageability with DLTSag

Based on the DLT platform that is trusted by 98% of Fortune 500® companies, the SDLT 320 is the ultimate drive for today’s expanding storage volumes and protects your investment in DLTtape. The SDLT 320 is fully backward read and write compatible with Super DLTtape I media written on SDLT 220 tape drives. It is backward read compatible with DLTtape IV media written from a DLT 4000, DLT 7000, DLT 8000, DLT1 and DLT VS80 tape drives.

A low-tension tape design, simple tape path and proven DLT reliability combine to provide you with rock-solid reliability and data integrity. The SDLT 320 is a perfect fit for data intensive environments requiring exceptional reliability.

Thanks to the power of DLTSage, the SDLT 320 offers a suite of intelligent data protection tools that enable you to more effectively manage and protect your tape storage environment

• Native capacity of 160 GB at 16 MB/s transfer rate
• 2:1 Compression allows 320 GB at 32 MB/s
• 250,000 hours MTBF at 100% duty cycle
• Fully backward read compatible with DLTtape IV cartridges and uses Super DLTtape I media
• Advanced Metal Particle Media embeds the optical servo tracks onto the reverse side of the tape freeing up 100% of tape's magnetic side for recording data
• High efficiency PRML Channel creates more tracks on the tape
• Laser Guided Magnetic Recording combines best of optical and magnetic technologies
• Pivoting Optical Servo increases high duty cycle reliability
• Magneto-Resistive Cluster Heads for the highest data density  
• Increased media capacity provides easier use and lower cost of ownership

Data Sheet

The ideal choice for high-end and automated environments, the SDLT 320 is designed for high duty-cycle with a rating of 250,000 hours MTBF at a 100% duty cycle. It can backup 115 GB per hour (in compressed mode), and can store 320 GB on a single cartridge (compressed) offering the lowest cost per GB and the highest storage density around. The SDLT 320 is backward read compatible with DLTtape IV media and uses the same Super DLTtape I cartridges as the SDLT 220 allowing seamless migration to Super DLTtape and preservation of your data storage investments. It is also fully compatible with the leading server brands, operating systems and backup software.
