Description
Performance and Data Transfer Rate
The HP 800GB/1.6TB Storageworks MSL4048 LTO-4 Ultrium 1840 FC Internal Tape Drive has a native data storage capacity of 800GB and a compressed data storage capacity of up to 1.6TB when used with compression enabled.
The maximum data transfer rate of this tape drive is 120MB/s (or 432GB/hour) for native data and up to 240MB/s (or 864GB/hour) for compressed data. However, the actual data transfer rate may vary depending on the system configuration, software, and other factors.
The tape drive uses the LTO-4 tape technology, which is designed for high-capacity and high-performance backup and archive applications. It has a half-height form factor and supports Fibre Channel (FC) interface, which allows for easy integration into a wide range of storage environments.
Encryption and Security Features
The HP 800GB/1.60TB Storageworks MSL4048 LTO-4 Ultrium 1840 FC Internal Tape Drive is a high-performance data storage device designed for use in data centers and other large-scale computing environments. It features several encryption and security features to help protect your data from unauthorized access or theft.
One of the main encryption features of the MSL4048 is its support for AES 256-bit hardware-based encryption. This means that all data written to the tape drive is automatically encrypted with a strong encryption algorithm, making it virtually impossible for anyone to read the data without the encryption key. This helps to prevent unauthorized access to your sensitive data, even if the tapes are lost or stolen.
In addition to encryption, the MSL4048 also features several other security features to help protect your data. These include:
- Role-based access control: The MSL4048 allows you to define different roles for different users, each with their own set of permissions. This helps to ensure that only authorized users can access the data stored on the tape drive.
- Secure erase: The MSL4048 includes a secure erase feature that allows you to completely erase all data on a tape, making it impossible to recover any data from the tape. This is particularly useful when retiring or repurposing tapes, as it helps to ensure that no sensitive data is left behind.
- Tamper-evident labels: The MSL4048 comes with tamper-evident labels that can be used to detect any attempts to tamper with the tapes. If the label is broken or missing, it indicates that the tape may have been compromised and should not be used.
