IBM 3580 TotalStorage Ultrium Tape Drive model L23 is designed to offer high capacity, performance, and technology designed for the midrange open systems environment. It incorporates the Linear Tape-Open (LTO) IBM TotalStorage Ultrium 2 Tape Drive, which more than doubles tape drive performance over the generation 1 LTO Ultrium Tape Drive (Ultrium 1) and provides up to 35MB/sec native data transfer rate (70MB/sec with 2:1 compression). In addition, with the use of the new IBM TotalStorage LTO Ultrium 200GB Data Cartridge, the Ultrium 2 Tape Drive doubles the tape cartridge capacity up to 200GB native capacity (400GB with 2:1 compression). IBM Ultrium 2 Tape Drives can read and write original LTO Ultrium Data Cartridges at original Ultrium 1 capacities and with improved performance, up to 20MB/sec native data transfer rate (40MB/sec with 2:1 compression). The 3580 Model L23 comes with a SCSI Ultra160 LVD attachment for connection to a wide spectrum of open system servers.
