streaming cartridge tape system designed for efficient data back-up for midrange
and high-end computing systems. With Quantum’s DLT advanced linear
recording technology, a highly accurate tape guide system, and an adaptive
control mechanism, the drive is ideally suited for mid-range systems, network
servers, and high-end workstations and systems.
Using data compression, the DLT 7000 tape system features a formatted
capacity of 70.0 GB* and a sustained user data transfer rate of 10 MB/second*
(native capacity is 35.0 GB; native data transfer rate is 5.0 MB/second).
The device is an extended-length, 5.25-inch form factor, half-inch cartridge tape
drive. The design includes a four-channel read/write head, Lempel-Ziv (LZ)
high-efficiency data compression, and tape mark directory to maximize data
throughput and minimize data access time.
The system is available either as an integratible or “embedded” drive or as a
tabletop version. The tabletop version is packaged in housing that includes its
own cooling fan and power supply, requiring ac power.
