The following list summarizes the key features of the LTO-2 Half-Height
Tape Drives.
• Performance - Up to 26 Mbytes-per-second native transfer.
• 13-Speed Transfer matches tape drive speed to that of the host and
optimizes data transfers, resulting in shorter backup times and
increased reliability.
• Two convenient form-factors:
• 5¼-inch internal form-factor for installation in a 5¼-inch half-
height space.
• External desktop form-factor.
• Intelligent data compression maximizes performance and capacity by
analyzing compressibility prior to recording.
• Cartridge memory enables fast loading of cartridges and stores
pertinent information about the media.
• 32-Mbyte data buffer for extra fast backups on high-performance
systems.
• Tape Alert drive performance monitoring and reporting.
• Third generation read channel for increased maturity and data
integrity.
• Patented head positioner for increased data integrity.
• Shock dampened isolated chassis.
• Two levels of ECC for extra data safety and protection from errors.
• Reliable tape picking implementation for increased reliability.
• Custom-designed LSI circuitry for fast, efficient data processing.
• RISC processors for fast, efficient data processing.
• Supports a wide variety of UNIX platforms.
