Product Description The IBM 400/800GB LTO3 Tape Drive is a high-performance, high-capacity data-storage device that is designed to backup and restore open systems applications. The drive is the third-generation in the Ultrium series of products. It is available as Model with a Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI). a82ru002 Figure 1. View of the drive with and without the bezel The drive offers the following features: v Ultra160 Low Voltage Differential (LVD) Small Computer Systems Interface v 68-pin, D-shell connector (for SCSI signals, SCSI ID selection, and power connection) v Native storage capacity of 400 GB per cartridge (800 GB at 2:1 compression) v Native data transfer rate of up to 80 MB per second v Burst data transfer rate of 160 MB per second v New dual stage 16 channel head activator for precision head alignment to help support higher track density with improved data integrity and backwards compatibility with previous LTO generations v Graceful dynamic braking designed to maintain tension until the tape comes to a complete stop, to help prevent stretching or breaking the tape, and loose tape wraps v Larger internal buffer (the size has been doubled over the Ultrium 2 to 128 MB) v New independent tape loader and threader motors designed to help with cartridge insertion in the tape drive. v Highly integrated electronics designed to reduced the total number of components in the drive, lower chip temperatures, and reduce power requirements, helping to provide for a more reliable drive. The Generation 3 drive electronics also incorporate on-the-fly error correction of soft errors in the memory arrays in data and control paths. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2005 1

Description
The
IBM
400/800GB
LTO3
Tape
Drive
is
a
high-performance,
high-capacity
data-storage
device
that
is
designed
to
backup
and
restore
open
systems
applications.
The
drive
is
the
third-generation
in
the
Ultrium
series
of
products.
It
is
available
as
Model
with
a
Small
Computer
Systems
Interface
(SCSI).
The
drive
offers
the
following
features:
v
Ultra160
Low
Voltage
Differential
(LVD)
Small
Computer
Systems
Interface
v
68-pin,
D-shell
connector
(for
SCSI
signals,
SCSI
ID
selection,
and
power
connection)
v
Native
storage
capacity
of
400
GB
per
cartridge
(800
GB
at
2:1
compression)
v
Native
data
transfer
rate
of
up
to
80
MB
per
second
v
Burst
data
transfer
rate
of
160
MB
per
second
v
New
dual
stage
16
channel
head
activator
for
precision
head
alignment
to
help
support
higher
track
density
with
improved
data
integrity
and
backwards
compatibility
with
previous
LTO
generations
v
Graceful
dynamic
braking
designed
to
maintain
tension
until
the
tape
comes
to
a
complete
stop,
to
help
prevent
stretching
or
breaking
the
tape,
and
loose
tape
wraps
v
Larger
internal
buffer
(the
size
has
been
doubled
over
the
Ultrium
2
to
128
MB)
v
New
independent
tape
loader
and
threader
motors
designed
to
help
with
cartridge
insertion
in
the
tape
drive.
v
Highly
integrated
electronics
designed
to
reduced
the
total
number
of
components
in
the
drive,
lower
chip
temperatures,
and
reduce
power
requirements,
helping
to
provide
for
a
more
reliable
drive.
The
Generation
3
drive
electronics
also
incorporate
on-the-fly
error
correction
of
soft
errors
in
the
memory
arrays
in
data
and
control
paths.
