3592 E07 tape drives
General reference information for the 3592 E07 tape drives.
With higher performance, reliability, cartridge capacity, and smaller size as compared to the IBM®TotalStorage Enterprise tape drive 3590 models, the 3592 tape drives allow a reduction of your number of tape drives and cartridges, and the associated floor space while greater overall storage capacity is achieved.
Enhancements include
- AES 256-bit data encryption capability increases security with minimal performance impact.
- Up to 250 MB/s native data rate for the Model E07, six times faster than the Model J1A at 40 MB/s.
- Up to 4000 GB (3725.3 GiB 1) native cartridge capacity for Model E07 on the IBM Tape Cartridge 3592 Advanced Data, more than a tenfold increase over the maximum 300 GB (279.39 GiB) native cartridge capacity of Model J1A on the 3592 Standard Data cartridge.
- Up to 1600 GB (1490.12 GiB) native cartridge capacity for the Model E07 and 1000 GB (931.32 GiB) for Models E06 and EU6 using the IIBM Tape Cartridge 3592 Extended Data. With the E07 tape drive at 3:1 compression, the maximum capacity is 4800 GB (4470.35 GiB), more than a fivefold increase over the maximum 300 GB (279.39 GiB) native tape cartridge capacity (900 GB [838.19 GiB] at 3:1 compression) of Model J1A with the Standard Data cartridge.
- Up to 500 GB (465.66 GiB) for Model E07 on the Advanced Economy cartridge with fast read and write access.
- Up to 4000 GB (3725.3 GiB) cartridge capacity for Model E07 on the Advanced WORM (write once, read many) cartridge for increased security of data. This capacity is more than a threefold increase over the maximum WORM capacities for Models E06 and EU6 on the Extended WORM cartridge, 1000 GB (931.32 GiB) on the Model E06, 700 GB (651.93 GiB) on the Model E05.
- Scaling capability to optimize fast access, storage capacity, or a combination of both.
- Dual ported switched fabric Fibre Channel attachments.
- High reliability and availability design.
- Performance and access improvements.
- Smaller form factor that allows double the number of drives, which are compared to the 3590 tape drives, in a single 3494
frame or stand-alone rack.
Enhancements over the 3590 drives to improve availability, performance, and capacity include
- Redundant power supplies
- 1.07 GB (1 GiB) internal buffer
- Dynamic digital speed matching
- Individual read and write data channel calibration
- Increased search speed
- Streaming Lossless Data Compression (SLDC) algorithm
