1-1. Overview
A high-speed interface between an external operating unit and LTO tape is now available by
installing a 10-Gigabit Ethernet option, LTS-10GR or LTS-10GS, in an LTS-70/80.
1-2. Features
Maximum 300MB/s data transfer is available when an LTO-7/8 tape is loaded in an LTO-7/8
drive.
Maximum 160MB/s for LTO-6 tapes and maximum 140MB/s for LTO-5 tapes.
* Transfer speed varies in accordance with LTO tape condition, network connected storage,
and/or network conditions. Transfer speed also varies in accordance with the applied
LAN cable type.
LTS-10GR is compliant with 10GBASE-T Ethernet (IEEE802.3an, RJ-45).
LTS-10GS is compliant with 10GBASE-SR Ethernet (IEEE802.3ae, MMF, SFP+) and
10GBASE-LR Ethernet (IEEE802.3ae, SMF, SFP+).
