They are designed to operate on a low voltage differential (LVD) SCSI interface. They are not compatible with high voltage differential (HVD) SCSI devices. The drives support - Compaq 157770-002 | HP StorageWorks DAT SCSI Tape Drives user guide (Q1573 - 909 - Page 64

There are two factors to consider: cable length and cable over longer cable lengths or at increased signal speed. 68 SCSI configuration guide - Compaq 157770-002 | HP StorageWorks DAT SCSI Tape Drives user guide (Q1573 - 909 - Page 69
• With low voltage differential (LVD) signaling, signals travel along two wires and the difference in voltage between the wire pairs determines the signal value. This enables faster data rates and longer cabling with less susceptibility to noise than SE signaling and reduced power consumption. If
