Tape Array Overview

Introducing the Array

The Compaq TA1000 Tape Drive Array™ supports up to 10 Compaq
hot-pluggable tape drives. It supports Wide-Ultra and Wide-Ultra2 SCSI
protocols. The internal bus supports only low voltage differential (LVD)
drives. The external bus (the array to the host controller bus) supports either
Wide-Ultra2 (LVD) or Wide-Ultra single-ended (SE) SCSI protocols. The
information in this guide is based on using the Wide Ultra2 LVD SCSI
protocol, the most efficient means of transferring data.
