Description
Interface and Connectivity
The EH847-69201 HP Storage Works Ultrium 920 is a tape drive that utilizes LTO Ultrium 3 technology. It has a storage capacity of 400GB native and 800GB compressed, and is designed to be used in a SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) environment. The tape drive has a half-height form factor, meaning it is smaller in size than a full-height tape drive, making it more suitable for use in space-constrained environments.
The drive connects to a host computer or storage system through a SAS interface, which is a high-speed data transfer protocol commonly used in data storage and server environments. The SAS interface provides faster data transfer rates and improved scalability compared to older technologies such as SCSI or IDE.
In terms of connectivity, the EH847-69201 tape drive can be connected to a SAS controller or host bus adapter (HBA) in the host computer or storage system. The drive can also be connected to other SAS-enabled devices, such as an external tape library or storage array, through a SAS cable.
Data transfer Rates
The EH847-69201 HP Storage Works Ultrium 920 400/800GB LTO Ultrium 3 SAS Half Height Tape Drive is a data storage device that uses LTO (Linear Tape-Open) technology to store and retrieve data. It has a maximum data transfer rate of 80 MB/s when using the 800 GB tape cartridge and 40 MB/s when using the 400 GB tape cartridge. This means that the device can transfer up to 80 megabytes of data per second when using the 800 GB tape cartridge and up to 40 megabytes of data per second when using the 400 GB tape cartridge. The device also uses SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface for data transfer, which provides fast and reliable data transfer speeds. Overall, the EH847-69201 HP Storage Works Ultrium 920 is a high-performance tape drive that offers fast and reliable data storage and retrieval for businesses and organizations.
Tape management Features
The EH847-69201 HP Storage Works Ultrium 920 is a half height tape drive that uses LTO Ultrium 3 technology. It has a storage capacity of 400/800GB and uses SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface for data transfer.
Tape management features include:
- Automatic tape detection: The drive automatically detects and configures the correct tape media, eliminating the need for manual intervention.
- Automatic media recognition: The drive recognizes and loads the correct tape media, ensuring that the correct data is read and written.
- Tape alert: The drive uses a built-in monitoring system to detect and report potential issues, such as low tape or drive errors.
- Tape library support: The drive can be integrated into a tape library system for easy management of multiple tapes.
- Data compression: The drive uses data compression to increase the storage capacity of the tape media, allowing more data to be stored on each tape.
- Data encryption: The drive supports data encryption to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access.
- Remote management: The drive can be managed remotely using HP’s TapeAssure software, which provides detailed information on tape usage and drive health.
