The DLT2000/DLT2500/DLT2700 is a high-performance, high-capacity, streaming
cartridge tape product designed for use on midrange and high-end computing systems.
Using data compression and compaction, the DLT2000 drive features a formatted
capacity of 30 GB and a sustained user data transfer rate of 2.5 MB/s.
The DLT2000 is a 5.25 inch form factor, half-inch tape drive. The design includes a
dual-channel read/write head, Lempel-Ziv (LZ) high-efficiency data compression, and
tape mark directory to maximize data throughput and minimize data access time.

(loader). The mini-library provides unattended backup of 100 GB in less than 16 hours
or up to 50 GB in an 8-hour shift in a compressed mode.
