Tape Drive Description
Size:
The T10000 tape drive is a small, modular, high-performance tape drive
designed for high-capacity storage of data. The drive is:
• Height = 8.89 cm (3.5 in.)
• Width = 14.6 cm (5.75 in.)
• Depth = 42.5 cm (16.75 in.)
Capacity:
The T10000 uses a technology called partial response, maximum likelihood
(PRML) to provide the high-density data format that allows the tape drive to
record and store up to:
• T10000A = 500 gigabytes (GB) of uncompressed data.
• T10000B = 1 terabyte (TB) of uncompressed data.
• T10000C = 5 terabytes (TB) of uncompressed data.
• T10000D = 8 terabytes (TB) of uncompressed data.
Media:
The new tape cartridge for this drive uses a single-reel hub for high capacity;
the supply reel is inside the cartridge and the take-up reel is inside the tape
drive.
Interface:
The host connections to the T10000 are fiber-optic to provide a high rate of data
transfer, such as Fibre Channel and FICON.
Configurations:
The T10000 supports two configurations: library and stand-alone,
for a variety of operating system platforms:
• Enterprise mainframes (z/OS and OS/390)
• Open system platforms (Windows, UNIX, and Linux)
