The DDS-Gen5 tape drive is the 5th generation of tried-and-tested DDS tape technology. Like its predecessors, it offers a reliable, low-cost data backup solution for small to medium-sized servers. The drive stores 72 GB of data in 3.5 hours (compressed), making it an ideal solution for applications with large storage capacity requirements. The DDS-Gen5 tape drive offers transfer rates of 6 MB/s at a compression of 2: 1. The capacity of 72 GB on one tape means lower tape consumption, less user intervention, simpler tape management and low costs.
