Serial
Attached SCSI (SAS) interface
A drive
with a SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface can be linked directly to
controllers. The SAS interface
offers the
following advantages over the traditional SCSI interface.
• SAS
enables multiple devices (up to 128) of different sizes and types to be
connected simultaneously
with
thinner and longer cables.
• Offers
full-duplex signal transmission.
• SAS
drives can be hot-plugged.
Features
The tape
drive has the following features.
• Built-in
read-after-write verification for a high level of data integrity
• Burst
data transfer rate of 1200 MB per second
• 1024 MB
of read/write cache memory
•
Intelligent LTO DC dual-mode compression algorithm
• Fail-safe
leader capture mechanism with pinpick error recovery.
• Reads
cartridge memory in LTO cartridges
• TapeAlert
support for improved diagnostic and troubleshooting
• Speed
matching (the drive can slow down to match the system data rate).
• Sleep
mode for energy conservation
• Backward
read and write compatibility dependent on generation.
•
Compatible with all cartridges dependent on generation that bears the official
Ultrium LTO logo. For
more
information, see “Data cartridges” on page 21.
• Able to
interchange tapes with other LTO tape drives that bear the official Ultrium LTO
logo.
• Support
for WORM (Write Once Read Many) using WORM media
• Data
encryption capability by using LTO Ultrium 4, 5, 6, 7, M8, 8 and 9 media
• Ethernet
interface for transferring drive firmware and dumps only (not an iSCSI
interface).
•
Diagnostics of the drive over the Ethernet service port (not an iSCSI
interface)
