Table 5 Table 6 Using Your Digital Data Storage (DDS) Tape Drive DDS Tape Drive and Data Cassette Descriptions DDS Tape Drive and Data Cassette Descriptions This section describes basic information needed for using your DDS tape drive and data cassettes. DDS Drive Your DDS tape drive is either a DDS-DC (early or later model) or a DDS-2 tape drive with a 3.5-inch form factor, data compression, and a single-ended SCSI interface. Both drives incorporate data compression capability and are high-capacity, high transfer-rate devices for data storage on tape. With compression, the DDS-DC drives can store up to 4 GB of data on a 90 meter tape and the DDS-2 drive can store up to 8 GB of data on a 120 meter tape. Storage Capacities The maximum storage capacities of different DDS drives with and without data compression are shown in the following tables; DDS Tape Drive Capacities Without Data Compression Tape Length Full Height 5 1/4 DDS Tape Drive DDS-DC Tape Drives DDS-2 Tape Drive 60 meter 90 meter 120 meter 1.3 GB Not Supported Not Supported 1.3 GB 2.0 GB Not Supported 1.3 GB 2.0 GB 4.0 GB DDS Tape Drive Capacities With Data Compression Tape Length 60 meter 90 meter 120 meter Full Height 5 1/4 DDS Tape Drive 2.6 GB Not Supported Not Supported DDS-DC Tape Drives 2.6 GB 4.0 GB Not Supported DDS-2 Tape Drive 2.6 GB 4.0 GB 8.0 GB 49
