TAPE DRIVE

UP TO 1.5TB NATIVE CAPACITY
Quantums Latest LTO Tape Drive Best in Class Performance and Reliability.
UP TO 140MB/SEC NATIVE TRANSFER RATE AES 256-BIT DATA ENCRYPTION SECURITY AND PARTITIONING BACKUP READY SOLUTION WITH 3-YEAR RAPID EXCHANGE WARRANTY
Quantums LTO-5 standalone tape drives deliver tremendous capacity and performance at an affordable price. LTO-5 tape drives are available in both FullHeight and Half-Height form factors, providing native capacity of up to 1.5TB and native transfer rates of up to 140MB/sec. In addition, they use less power on average than LTO-4 drives, making them a greener and more energy efficient solution. LTO-5 tape drives use the latest industry-standard interface6 Gb/sec Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)to allow for easy installation and integration into your data center. Half-Height versions are also available with SAS interface card (HBA) bundle options. Quantums LTO-5 tape drives also protect your investment by providing backward read and write compatibility with LTO-4 media and backward read compatibility with LTO-3 media. Quantums FastSense variable speed feature monitors the speed of incoming data and matches the speed at which the drive streams data. The result is that Quantums LTO-5 tape drives complete backups faster and more efficiently. In addition, Quantum also provides special features like SmartVerify to concurrently verify all data written to the tape, virtually eliminating the time consuming verify pass during backup operations. And with Quantums LTO-5 tape drives, you can be assured of security with AES 256-bit data encryption. Encryption on LTO-5 drives is hardware based, allowing for the highest level of security without any loss of performance during the encryption process. In addition, LTO-5 is WORM capable when used with LTO WORM data cartridges. And the new partitioning functionality allows tape-aware file searches to address the growing needs of marketplace segments such as Rich Media. Quantums LTO-5 FH and HH tape drives are available in server-installable internal, convenient tabletop, or rackmount configurations. Quantum Backup Ready certified solutions allow you to go from box-to-backup in minutes with the highly reliable Quantum LTO-5 tape drives, world-class Backup Exec QuickStart software and durable Quantum media.
