This chapter introduces the DDS-2 drive and contains the following information: General description of the drive Major features of the drive Preparing to install the drive Preparing the system Powering off the workstation and any peripherals.

  • Page 12: General Description

    Introduction General Description The HP DDS-format drives have been developed by Hewlett Packard for data storage drives that build on DAT technology. The DDS-2 drive has 4-GB native capacity, yielding up to 8 GB of stored data and has data compression functionality. Figure 1–1 shows the DDS-2 drive.

  • Page 13: Major Features Of Dds Drives

    Introduction Major Features of DDS Drives The DDS-1 format incorporates error correction techniques used in audio DAT drives with additional techniques specifically designed to provide the integrity of data necessary for computer use. These extra methods of error detection and correction are as follows: C3 ECC, a third level of Error Correction Code providing correction across frames within groups.
  • Page 14 Introduction DDS-2 Drive The HP C1539A implements the DDS-2 format. This includes all of the features of the DDS-1 and DDS-DC formats, plus the ability to read and write with much higher capacity as follows: Reads and writes using DDS-1 and DDS-DC formats when using DDS-1 media (60 m and 90 m).
