TC-S45AT Quantum DLT-S4 800-1600GB Internal SCSI Tape Drive

Description

The TC-S45AT is the Quantum DLT-S4 800/1600Gb internal LVD SCSI tape drive.

The DLTS4 full height tape drive is the fourth and final generation of the Quantum SDLT family and was manufactured by Quantum for many vendors including HP, Compaq, IBM, Dell, Tandberg, Overland and many others for use in libraries, autoloaders and of course as standalone internal and external drives.

The DLTS4 offers 800GB native capacity or 1.6TB compressed capacity on a single tape at speeds of up to 120MBps or 432GB per hour. Native, the drive provides 800GB of storage capacity with a transfer speed of 60MB/second.

The DLTS4 is a streaming tape drive that uses half-inch wide Digital Linear Tape (DLT) media and a standard 5.25-inch full-height form factor to simplify integration into system and tape library solutions.

The DLTS4 was available in a 68pin Ultra 320 and fibre channel as well as a rare SAS1.1 version.

Backward read compatibility for SDLT 320 and SDLT 600 tape drive formats with the Super DLTtape I data cartridge type.

DLTtape S4	800 GB native capacity
Super DLTtape II (read/write)	300 GB native capacity
Super DLTtape I (read only)	160 GB native capacity

Incorporates state-of-the-art technologies that contribute to the SDLT architecture.

The DLT-S4 tape drive system is based on Quantum’s Laser Guided Magnetic Recording (LGMR) technology. LGMR provides a unique combination of the best optical and magnetic technologies, which results in dramatically higher capacities by substantially increasing the number of recording tracks on the data-bearing surface of the media.
