movement of the magnetic tape in an IBM
LTO Ultrium Tape Cartridge. The drive
houses the mechanism (drive head) that
reads and writes data to the tape. Its
native data capacity is 2 500 GB (2
328.31GiB) per cartridge; with 2.5:1
compression, its capacity is up to 6.25 TB
(5.68 TiB). The Model F6A drive provides
8 Gbps Fibre Channel connectivity. Also
known as the Ultrium 6 tape drive.
IBM System Storage TS1120 Tape Drive
A high-performance, high-capacity
streaming cartridge tape product designed
for efficient back-up for mid-range and
high-end computing systems. The drive

TiB) and its data rate is 250 MB/s. All
TS1140 Tape Drives are encryption
capable. Also known as the 3592 Tape
Drive Model E07.
IBM System Storage TS3500 Tape Library
Also known as the 3584 Tape Library, a
device that can be attached to one or
more supported servers and used to write
data to and from magnetic tape. The
library can include up to 16 frames and
192 drives, and any combination of
Ultrium tape drives in Ultrium frames,
and 3592 tape drives in 3592 frames.
