The IBM 7205 Model 311 is an external, stand-alone, SCSI-attached, digital
linear tape drive that attaches to the RS/6000* family of workstations
and servers. In addition to reading and writing on DLT**-format tape data
cartridges, the 7205 provides an excellent migration path from 1/4-inch,
4mm, or 8mm tape drives. It is a very cost-effective solution for save-and-restore
and archiving functions. The Model 311 provides a media capacity of up
to 35GB (70GB with 2:1 compression) data storage per cartridge and a sustained
data rate of up to 5.0MB per second (uncompressed).
Model Highlights 7205-311
- Larger-capacity, higher-performance digital linear tape drive
- Increased tape capacity up to 35GB native per cartridge (70GB with
2:1 compression)
- Improved data transfer rate up to 5.0MB per second (uncompressed),
up to 10MB per second with 2:1 compression
- Differential Fast/Wide SCSI-2 attachment (68-pin) that will connect
to differential fast/wide or fast/narrow adapters
The 7205 Model 311 35GB External Digital Linear Tape Drive is an excellent
solution for customers who use tape or require a larger-capacity or higher-performance
tape backup. It can be an alternative product to other externally attached,
1/4-inch, 4mm, or 8mm tape devices for the RS/6000 family of workstations
and servers.
With its higher capacity and performance it is an excellent replacement
for IBM 1/4-inch models (7207) or 4mm models (7206), and other competitive
products where this capability is needed.
If you need higher-performance tape drives, consider the IBM Magstar
MP Tape Subsystem for fast access, near on-line performance, and multiple
retrieve storage applications; the IBM Magstar 3590 Tape Subsystem; or
the IBM 3490 Enhanced Capability Magnetic Tape Subsystem. The Magstar
3590 and the 3490 are available for inclusion in the Magstar 3494 Tape
Library.
The IBM 7336 4mm Tape Library Model 205 or IBM 7332 4mm DDS-2 Tape Autoloader
is also available to meet lower capacity and performance requirements.
