Thank you for selecting the EXABYTE
EXB-8505, or EXB-8505XL 8mm Cartridge Tape Drive. These tape
drives are high-capacity, high-performance, and highly reliable storage
devices for PC, workstation, and local area network (LAN) applications.
All of theses tape drives incorporate a single-ended Small Computer
System Interface (SCSI) and are ideally suited for back-up and restore
tasks, data archiving, and data file interchange. The "eXtended-Length"
(XL) versions of the EXB-8205 and EXB-8505 (EXB-8205XL and
EXB-8505XL) provide additional capacity by supporting the
extended-length EXATAPE™ 160m XL 8mm Data Cartridge.
Operating as single-ended SCSI devices, these 5.25-inch half-high
form-factor tape drives can either be installed inside your computer (an
internal tape drive) or, when purchased in an enclosure (an external tape
drive), used as an external peripheral. The external tape drives offer the
following additional features:
