High Voltage Differential or HVD (also called Differential
HVD
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.

enterprise libraries that incoporates a revolving drum and tape
cartidge bins (stationary or removeable) for loading and unloading
tape cartridges.
Linear Tape-Open is a tape drive specification backed by
LTO
IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and Seagate.
Low Voltage Differential or LVD is the newest type of SCSI
LVD
cabling, and LVD SCSI specifications can reach distances up to 12
meters. LVD SCSI cabling requires "Twist and Flat" ribbon cable
and an LVD/SE terminator or a "Twist and Flat" ribbon cable with
built-in LVD termination. All IBM LTO tape drives are LVD
devices. Quantum DLT8000 and SDLT tape drives can be LVD or
HVD devices.
This term refers to the use of different tape drive
Mixed media
types within one tape library. ATL mixed media libraries may use
DLT and LTO tape drives simultaneously (LVD), as well as DLT
and SDLT tape drives HVD or LVD).
Mixed media gripper
