Description
Product overview of the IBM 23R5712
Data storage is an essential aspect of any organization’s operations. Companies and individuals have different data storage needs depending on the type of data, frequency of use, and data volume. Tape drives have been around for a long time and are still used widely for data storage due to their cost-effectiveness, reliability, and ease of use. The IBM 23R5712 LTO Ultrium-3 SCSI LVD HH Internal Tape Drive is one such tape drive that provides efficient and reliable data storage.
The IBM 23R5712 LTO Ultrium-3 SCSI LVD HH Internal Tape Drive is a tape drive that uses the Linear Tape-Open (LTO) Ultrium-3 technology to provide high-capacity data storage. It is designed to fit into a desktop or server’s 5.25-inch half-height drive bay and is compatible with most IBM servers and workstations.
Storage Capacity
The IBM 23R5712 LTO Ultrium-3 SCSI LVD HH Internal Tape Drive has a storage capacity of 400GB native and 800GB compressed data. This high storage capacity makes it ideal for storing large volumes of data, such as backups, archives, and multimedia files. The compressed capacity is achieved through data compression techniques that reduce the data size by removing redundancies in the data.
Data Transfer Rates
The tape drive has a fast data transfer rate of up to 80MB/s native and 160MB/s compressed. This high data transfer rate ensures fast data backup and retrieval, thus reducing the time taken to restore lost data. The fast data transfer rate is achieved through the use of LTO Ultrium-3 technology, which uses high-density recording and narrow tracks to increase the data storage capacity and data transfer rate.
Interface
The IBM 23R5712 LTO Ultrium-3 SCSI LVD HH Internal Tape Drive uses the Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) Low Voltage Differential (LVD) interface. The SCSI LVD interface is a fast and reliable interface that allows for fast data transfer rates and supports long cable lengths. The SCSI LVD interface is also backward compatible with older SCSI interfaces, making it easy to integrate the tape drive into existing systems.
Compatibility
The IBM 23R5712 LTO Ultrium-3 SCSI LVD HH Internal Tape Drive is compatible with most IBM servers and workstations. It is also compatible with most operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and Unix. This compatibility makes it easy to integrate the tape drive into existing systems without the need for additional software or hardware.
Reliability
The IBM 23R5712 LTO Ultrium-3 SCSI LVD HH Internal Tape Drive is a reliable tape drive that provides long-term data storage. The tape drive uses high-quality components and advanced data protection features, such as hardware-based encryption, to ensure data integrity and security. The hardware-based encryption ensures that the data is encrypted before it is written to the tape, thus protecting the data from unauthorized access.
Installation
The IBM 23R5712 LTO Ultrium-3 SCSI LVD HH Internal Tape Drive is easy to install and use. The tape drive comes with an installation guide that provides step-by-step instructions on how to install the tape drive into a server or workstation. The tape drive also comes with software drivers that are easy to install and configure.
Maintenance
The IBM 23R5712 LTO Ultrium-3 SCSI LVD HH Internal Tape Drive is a low-maintenance tape drive that requires minimal maintenance. The tape drive has a self-cleaning mechanism that cleans the drive heads automatically, thus ensuring optimal performance and reliability.
