Chapter 1. Introduction
The IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive is a high-performance, high-capacity data-storage
device that connects to and provides additional storage for supported hosts.
Designed to perform unattended backups as well as to retrieve and archive files,
the 3580 Tape Drive features:
v
Native storage capacity of 100 GB per cartridge (200 GB at 2:1 compression)
1
v
Native sustained data transfer rate of 15 MB per second (30 MB at 2:1
compression)
2
v
Burst data transfer rate of 40 MB per second
The 3580 Tape Drive is equipped internally with the IBM Ultrium Tape Drive.
Two models of the 3580 Tape Drive are available and vary according to the type of
Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) each uses to communicate with the host:
v
Model L11 uses the Ultra2, Low Voltage Differential/Single Ended (LVD/SE)
interface
v
Model H11 uses the Ultra, High Voltage Differential (HVD/DIFF) interface
1. 1 GB = one gigabyte or 1 000 000 000 bytes
2. 1 MB = one megabyte or 1 000 000 bytes
