Overview and Features of the DLT2000/DLT2500/DLT2700 Product
1-2 DLT2000/DLT2500/DLT2700 Cartridge Tape Subsystem
The DLT2700 is a tape mini-library that performs automatic tape operations. The
DLT2700 includes the tape drive and a 7-cartridge SCSI-2 medium changer device
(loader). The mini-library provides unattended backup of 140 GB in less than 16 hours
or up to 70 GB in an 8-hour shift in a compressed mode.
The drive and mini-libraries are available in a rackmountable form factor. Also, the
DLT2000, DLT2500 and DLT2700 are available with either single-ended or
differential, fast driver/receivers.
1.3 Fast Data Transfer Rate
Used for unattended backups or archiving, the DLT2000/DLT2500/DLT2700 allows
the user to back up a higher data capacity at a high speed. The
DLT2000/DLT2500/DLT2700, when operating in a non-compressed mode, has a
maximum transfer rate of 1.25 MB/s. When operating in the compressed mode, the
maximum transfer rate is 2.5 MB/s write and 3.0 MB/s read.
1.4 High-Capacity
The amount of data the user can store on a tape CompacTape III cartridge can be up to
10.0 GB native capacity or 20.0 GB compressed, depending on whether you select
compression mode. Built-in data compression increases cartridge capacity and drive
transfer rate 2 to 2.5 times. Compression can be selected on the loader or drive front
panel or from the host by using the SCSI MODE SELECT command.
1.5 Compaction
The compaction feature of the DLT2000 helps you to store data efficiently. A
read/write data cache of 2.0 MB allows working space for the compaction, enabling
maximum use of available tape space.
1.6 Durable Media
The CompacTape III tape media can endure 500,000 passes and has a shelf life of 30
years, which provides superior media durability and data reliability.
1.7 Compatibility
Quantum is committed to maintaining compatibility within the DLT family of tape
drives. DLT2000/DLT2500/DLT2700 tape products are the fourth generation of tape
products, started with the DLT260 and DLT600 drives.
The DLT2000/DLT2500/DLT2700 complies with the ANSI standard for SCSI-2. The
tape media format follows ECMA approved and ANSI proposed standards.
