The Greater Capacity DLT IV Data Tape

TheDigital Linear Tape (DLT) is a highly reliable magnetic data storage formatwhich was introduced in the early 1980’s. The DLT tape is considered to be oneof the most efficient data tapes having increased storage capacity. The DLTtechnology product DLT 4 tape provides extreme reliability and can be used withsmall and large computer networks. The DLT-IV tapes include Maxell 183270,Hewlett-Packard (HP) C5141F, Sony DL4TK88, Quantum THXKD02, Fuji 26112088, IBM59H3040, Imation 11776 and many others. All these tapes combine enterpriseclass features and deliver unmatched performance and durability.

TheDLT IV tape minimizesthe error rate by using the sophisticated error detection and correctionmethod. The DLT IV tape uses Metal Particle (MP) technology make the tapedurable for making five hundred thousand head passes even under humidconditions and worst-case temperatures. The DLT-IV tapes use a space savingsingle reel cartridge that allows more capacity for data storage. The tapeemploys multiple heads, adaptive-cache buffering and longitudinal-serpentinetracks to improve its performance.

TheSony DLT-IV tape ensures reduced error rate which makes it ideal for storingcritical data backup applications. The DL4TK88 is an ideal solution toarchiving requirements and high volume backups. The Sony has used advanceddefect-detection system that assures error free data recording and a perfecthead to tape interface. The Sony DLT-IV has exceptional capacity for datastorage. It stores data up to 40 GB (native). The tape can also store 80 GB ofdata in compressed mode. The Sony DLT-IV tape transfers data at a high transferspeed of 6 MB/s (native). It can also transfer the data at an ultra high speedof 12 MB/s in compressed mode. The Strong cartridge designprevents the DLT-IV Sony from damage and improves its durability. The SonyDL4TK88 uses ATOMM technology which allows high density recording withaccuracy.

TheMaxell DLT-IV data tapemaintains a log-index at the tape’s head which provides extremely high speeddata retrieval. The Maxell DLT-IV tapes are designed to be compatible with thefuture generation DLT drives. This enables you to retrieve your data from yourMaxell DLT-IV tape with any other DLT drive. These tapes are ideal choice forhigh end computer and network server data backup. Like other DLT-IV tapes, theMaxell DLT-IV can store data up to 40 GB in native and 80 GB in compressedmode. These tapes transfer the data at a high speed of 12 MB/s in compressedmode. The length of the tape is five hundred and fifty seven meters. Thearchival life of the tape is thirty years. Normally it does one million headpasses within its lifetime. The reel motor in the cartridge electronicallycontrols the tension and speed of the tape.

Thelarge enterprises highly recommend DLT-IV tapes. This is because these tapesprovide extra protection to the user’s data. The DLT-IV tapes can be used withall the known operating systems including Windows (98, 2000, XP, Vista), LINUX, UNIX and all the other main softwares. TheBrands which support DLT-IV tapes involve Sony, Hewlett-Packard (HP), Fuji, IBM, Imation, Delland many others. The Personal Computer users also prefer to uses DLT-IV tapesas it serves the users with huge data storage capacity at affordable price.
