DDS Tape Drive and Data Cassette Descriptions

This section describes basic information needed for using your DDS tape
drive and data cassettes.

DDS Drive

Your DDS tape drive is either a DDS-DC (early or later model) or a DDS-2
tape drive with a 3.5-inch form factor, data compression, and a single-ended
SCSI interface. Both drives incorporate data compression capability and are
high-capacity, high transfer-rate devices for data storage on tape. With com-
pression, the DDS-DC drives can store up to 4 GB of data on a 90 meter tape
and the DDS-2 drive can store up to 8 GB of data on a 120 meter tape.

Storage Capacities

The maximum storage capacities of different DDS drives with and without
data compression are shown in the following tables;
