TS1150 Technology Drive
When connecting to a Fibre Channel network, TS1150 technology Fibre
Channel drives attempt to connect at 8 Gb/second, but auto‐negotiate
down to 4 Gb/second, 2 Gb/second, or 1 Gb/second, depending on the
requirements of the port to which the drive is connected.
a. Assuming a 2.5:1 compression ratio. Compression throughput depends on the type of data.
b. This is a per-drive value.
Drive-Based Encryption Highlights
Key AES‐256 data encryption with a secret 256‐bit encryption key is used
to encrypt and decrypt data. The key is not retrievable from the encryption
core and is automatically erased during the unload process; software is
required to extract the key, keep it secure, and provide management tools
to track, store, use, and delete keys as appropriate.

Note:
Spectra SKLM key management, KMIP encryption, and
BlueScale encryption are not compatible with each other. Data
encrypted using one type of encryption key management cannot
be decrypted using another. For more information about
encryption, see the Spectra Tape Libraries Encryption User Guide.
