 HP StorageWorks DLT VS160 Tape Drive Overview 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 remove 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 drives. 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 and more than double for customers transitioning from previous generation DLT drives such as the DLT VS80. The HP StorageWorks DLT VS160 tape drive offers a reliable mid-ranged DLT based backup solution. With 160 GB capacity compressed, the DLT VS160 provides a price/capacity point ideal for the mid-range customer.
