50/100GB SLR100 Ultra2 LVD Bare Tape Drive w/Guide Black

The Tandberg SLR100 Internal Tape Drive incorporates the VR2 (Variable Rate Randomizer) technology, which significantly increases the native capacity and native data transfer rate performance of linear tape technologies without requiring any changes in tape path design, recording heads or media. It features a variable data transfer rate with "auto-sense" capabilities, which allows the tape drive to adjust itself to the host bus, yielding optimal system performance. This feature of drive intelligence is combined with in-line compression, enabling hardware compression before it enters the buffer, thereby freeing valuable storage capacity. The standard 5.25" half-height form factor can be installed, connected and running in no time. It offers a native storage capacity of 50GB (100GB with 2:1 compression) and a native transfer rate of 18GB per hour (36GB per hour compressed). It writes to SLR100/60/50/40 tapes, but reads SLR100/60/50/40/32/24 tapes. TapeAlert is an added security feature from Tandberg that provides the user with diagnostic messages and recommended actions.
