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)
