*Note 1: *The actual data capacities are dependent on the
"compressibility" of the data
*Note 2: *"Data Rate Matching" feature accommodates host speeds between 6
MB/s and 15 MB/s
*Note 3:* In order to achieve performance expectations it is strongly
recommended the server has RAID subsystems with minimum 200 MHz RAID
controllers and a 6 disk array.
Description
===========
The HP StorageWorks Ultrium 230 tape drive for ProLiant is an Ultrium (LTO -
Linear Tape-Open) tape drive that has a 100 GB (200 GB - compressed)
capacity and a 15.0 MB/sec (30.0 MB/sec - compressed) transfer rate. It is
available in Full-height Internal, and External form factors. Ultrium 1 tape
drive technology uses a linear format of 384 tracks, writing eight (8)
tracks simultaneously. The data is written in a serpentine pattern; the tape
reverses direction after each set of eight tracks is written. The Ultrium
format is an open standard. Data written on HP StorageWorks Ultrium 230 tape
drive for ProLiants can be interchanged directly with Ultrium 1 tape drives
from other vendors.
Features
========
Superior cartridge tape handling system
Robust format with automatic data recovery that overcomes
scratches and other vertical media problems
High-performance "Data-Rate-Matching" that achieves faster
access and fewer repositions
LTO-CM - an intelligent memory chip embedded in the cartridge
that holds positioning information to facilitate fast access to
individual files and stores cartridge identification and usage
information for automatic quality monitoring.
Supports disaster recovery for easy restore from a hard drive
failure
Active Head Cleaning - provides an automated cleaning solution,
increasing the head life and reducing the need for periodic cleaning
Lowest media cost of any `superdrive' tape technology
