Page 2 STT8000 ATAPI Minicartridge Drive
The STT8000 ATAPI minicartridge drive conforms to the QIC-3095
development standard adopted by Quarter-Inch Cartridge Drive Standards Inc.
(QIC). The drive records in a serpentine fashion utilizing a 1,7 RLL (Run
Length Limited) data encoding method, and provides for 72 data tracks and one
(1) directory track on Travan TR-4 media.
The drive offers electronically erasable, programmable, read-only memory (flash
EEPROM), which enables qualified Seagate OEMs to download revised
firmware to the drive.
With the availability of greater capacity disk drives and the growth of small
networks, the need for cost-effective, high-capacity storage has grown. The
STT8000 ATAPI minicartridge drives are ideal for high-end standalone
computers, workstations, and small networks.
Built using long-wearing materials and custom Large Scale Integration (LSI)
components, the ATAPI drive was engineered for heavy-duty computer
applications. Providing carefully controlled tape handling and rapid, smooth
operation, the design promotes long life for key components such as the motors,
drive heads, and the media itself. One major benefit of this new, computer
grade engineering is low power consumption.
