T10000A tape drives The Sun StorageTek T10000 tape drive raises the bar on data protection, efficiency, and risk mitigation with technical advancements in capacity, throughput, reliability and media reusability. Not only is it fast with 500 GB capacity and 120 MB/sec throughput, the T10000 drive offers exceptional overall value for enterprise IT departments, because it delivers large capacity and reduces complexity to improve the use of information.
  • Supports top-line business growth by affordably and reliably storing greater amounts data
  • Breakthrough performance of 120 MB/second shortens backup windows and saves time and money by doing more work with fewer drives
  • Helps to ensure business continuity with high reliability features, such as the SafeGuide system, that mitigate risk in the data center
  • Enhances security with crypto-ready technology now available on the T10000 tape drive           
  • Drive efficiencies. Store more data in the same footprint and shorten backup and recovery windows with capacity of 500 gigabytes uncompressed data and throughput of 120 megabytes per second.
  • Reuse media. Use the same StorageTek T10000 tape cartridges for at least two generations by reformatting and reusing tape cartridges with next-generation drives.
  • Mitigate risk. Implement device-based encryption with the crypto-ready T10000 tape drive and choose the T10000 tape drive with VolSafe secure media technology for WORM storage.
  • Enhance reliability. Protect valuable information with the StorageTek SafeGuide system for tape guiding.
  • Support demanding, high duty cycle environments. Optimize operations with dual-head, 32-channel technology, which reduces the number of tape passes and extends head and media life. Boost reliability further with speed matching and dual error correction.

Drive efficiencies, reduce total cost of ownership

Unsurpassed performance and capacity
Reach a new performance level with a capacity of 500 gigabytes uncompressed data and throughput of 120 megabytes per second. Store more in the same footprint and shorten back up and recovery windows.
Support demanding, high-duty cycle environments
Optimize operations with dual-head, 32-channel technology, reducing the number of tape passes and extending head and media life. Boost reliability further with speed matching and dual error correction.
Reuse media
Use the same T10000 media for at least two generations. Reformat and reuse tape cartridges for up to one terabyte of data with next generation drives and take advantage of capacity and throughput improvements.
Reduce complexity
Connect using standard FICON and dual-port Fibre Channel options. Support Sun StorageTek enterprise tape libraries and virtual solutions as well as software from Sun and leading third-party providers.

Mitigate risk                                        

Keep information safe
Protect valuable information with the T10000’s SafeGuide system for enhanced tape guiding. Media is guided more accurately and reduces tape tension, resulting in less media wear and higher data integrity.
Be compliant with the law
Implement device-based encryption with the crypto-ready T10000 tape drive and choose the T10000 tape drive with VolSafe secure media technology for WORM storage.
