IBM EU11 2.5/6.25TB LTO-6 SAS Tape Drive, Half-high

• LTO6
• Will read/write LTO5 and read only LTO4
• 160Mbps Data Rate

IBM EU11 SAS tape drive is located in the HH bay of the supporting system units and run by the integrated SAS controller in those system units. A SAS cable feature code such as #3656 or #3657 is required for the drive's attachment inside the system unit. The drive uses industry standard Ultrium media. This drive will Write/Read Ultrium6 (LTO-6), Write/Read Ultrium5 (LTO-5) and Read Ultrium4 (LTO-4) formats. With LTO-6 media, it has capacity of 2.5 TB native or 6.25 TB with typical compression. Compression capability is built into the drive hardware. Both write many and write once (WORM) cartridges are supported. The drive uses linear technology and operates in streaming mode. The data transfer rate is 160 MB/sec with LTO-6 media. Data transfer rates are slower using LTO-5 or LTO-4 media. To enhance overall operational performance and to minimize normal head wear, matching down speed capability is supported down to 40 MB/s.
