IBM 3580 L33 Ultrium 3 Single External LVD SCSI Tape Drive
The IBM 3580 Ultrium 3 Tape Drive Model L33 incorporates the Linear Tape-Open (LTO) IBM TotalStorage Ultrium 3 Tape Drive, which more than doubles maximum tape drive throughput data rate performance over the LTO generation 2 Tape Drive (Ultrium 2), up to 80 MB/sec native data transfer rate. In addition, with the use of the IBM TotalStorage LTO Ultrium 400 GB Data Cartridge the Ultrium 3 Tape Drive doubles the tape cartridge capacity up to 400 GB native physical capacity (800 GB with 2:1 compression). IBM Ultrium 3 Tape Drives can read and write LTO Ultrium 2 Data Cartridges and read LTO Ultrium 1 Data Cartridges. The Model L33 comes with a SCSI Ultra160 LVD attachment, for connection to a wide spectrum of open system servers.
Maximum data transfer rates are 80MB/Sec Native and 140MB/Sec if 2:1 compression is achieved.
Additional options for this model are;
- Feature 7003 Rack Mount Shelf for 3580
- LTO3 400/800GB Data Cartridges
