This chapter describes the VXA-2 tape drive features and components. The
VXA-2 tape drive is designed for the storage and management of
enterprise-wide, mission-critical data. The VXA-2 tape drive is capable of
storing 80 gigabytes (GB) of native data on a 230-meter VXAtape. It can
transfer data at a sustained rate of 6 megabytes (MB) per second and is
backward compatible with the first-generation VXA-1 tape drive.

NTERFACES
For simple and convenient system integration, the VXA-2 tape drive is
available in external and internal models. The internal VXA-2 complies with
industry standard 5.25-inch half-high form factor mounting requirements and
can be mounted horizontally or vertically. The external standalone model is
housed in an enclosure that allows the device to be placed horizontally or
vertically on a flat surface. External models can also be stacked. Neither model
can be installed upside down.
The internal model of the VXA-2 tape drive is available with either a wide,
Ultra2 SCSI low-voltage differential (LVD) interface or an IDE/ATAPI
interface. The external model of the tape drive is available with either a wide,
Ultra2 SCSI low-voltage differential (LVD) interface or a FireWire interface.
