Overview
For IS Managers and professionals that are looking for higher capacity, higher performance, and reliable tape backup, HP offers the DLT 20/40 GB tape drive. DLT technology is the de facto tape backup standard in the enterprise environment today, with the DLT 20/40 GB tape drive offering a reliable data protection solution for servers with less than 40 GB of storage. Available in both internal and external tabletop form factors, with transfer rates up to 10.8 GB/hour, this drive brings performance and manageability to the backup process. The DLT 20/40 drive requires the DLT IV data cartridge to achieve the 20 GB native capacity and 40 GB capacity with 2:1 data compression. Yet, the DLT 20/40 tape drive is perfect for the 15/30 GB DLT customer to upgrade to because of the inherent read/write compatibility to the DLT IIIxt data cartridge used with the DLT 15/30 tape drive

Standard configuration for 3U Rackmount Kit provides two internal SCSI buses (channels) supporting one DLT drive per bus. Standard configuration for 5U Rackmount Kit provides two internal SCSI buses (channels) supporting up to 2 DLT drives per bus. Optional cable kit permits user to extend from two to four internal SCSI buses in 5U Rackmount Kit, increasing the performance (data transfer rate) by allowing the customer to stream data to all four drives simultaneously.
