HP StorageWorks DLT VS160 Tape Drive
Backing up to tape is a key component in a complete storage strategy. Tape drives can be used for creating daily and weekly backups that allow customers to move information off-site and can be used for archival purposes to retain data for years.
The DLT VS160 Tape Drive is designed for the customer who is outgrowing the capacity of their current DLT VS80 drives. It is their drive of choice if they are ready to move up in capacity but do not need the performance of a super drive because they do not have strict limitations on their backup window. The DLT VS160 provides double the capacity and performance over the DLT VS80.
The HP StorageWorks DLT VS160 tape drive offers a reliable mid-ranged DLT based backup solution. With 160 GB of compressed capacity, the DLT VS160 provides a price and capacity point ideal for the medium-sized business customers. The DLT VS160 Tape Drive has a transfer rate of 16MB/sec compressed, and can store up to 57.6 GB of compressed data in an hour. The native capacity is 80 GB, and the uncompressed transfer rate is 8MB/s.
