Digital Linear Tape technology is owned, developed, and manufactured by Quantum Corporation. DLT tape drives use half-inch wide tape. DLT 8000 tape drives record on 208 tracks (uncompressed).
Page 251 High Voltage Differential or HVD (also called Differential SCSI). The benefit of using HVD cabling is that it works well in noisy areas and can reach up to 25 meters in distance. Quantum DLT8000 and SDLT tape drives can be HVD or LVD devices.
