 T9940 tape drives
The StorageTek® capacity-centric T9940 tape drive is ideal for applications that demand high throughput and capacity. The StorageTek T9940B tape drive stores up to 200 gigabytes of native data on a single tape cartridge at rates as high as 30 megabytes per second.
| T9940A | T9940B | | Capacity, native (uncompressed): | 60 GB | 200 GB | | Interface: | 1 Gb Fibre Channel, Ultra-SCSI HVD (40 MB/sec), ESCON 20 MB/sec (maximum) | 2 Gb Fibre Channel, ESCON for VSM |
Applications
Disaster recovery:
T9940 tape drives are an integral part of enterprise disaster recovery processes that remotely vault data in tape form for recovery in case of disaster. Tapes can be physically transported to a remote site, created electronically with T9940 tape drives in a library at the remote location, or created simultaneously at both locations.
Archiving:
T9940 tape drives are a high-capacity choice for enterprise archiving systems requiring continuous use. When implemented with VolSafe® write-once-read-many (WORM) secure media, T9940 tape drives help secure critical data as it is archived.
Backup and restore:
Using T9940 tape drives for backup and restore shortens backup and recovery times with high transfer rates and fewer cartridge mounts and dismounts. The T9940 drive can be used in combination with other drives, including the T9840 fast-access tape drive, to match specific backup and restore performance and capacity needs.
Features
Tape compatibility:
The T9940B drive provides backward read compatibility with 9940A cartridges. It can rewrite StorageTek 9940A tape cartridges with three times more data, for extended investment protection.
StorageTek VolSafe media support:
The T9940B drive supports VolSafe® cartridges, a high-capacity write-once-read-many (WORM) storage solution. VolSafe is a non-erasable, non-rewritable tape media for archiving critical data.
Multi-platform connectivity:
T9940 drives run on today’s popular operating environments. The T9940B supports two gigabit Fibre Channel connectivity. The T9940A drive supports ESCON, SCSI and one gigabit Fibre Channel connectivity.
SAN-readiness:
A native two-gigabit fabric-aware Fibre Channel interface makes the T9940B drive ready for the demands of high-speed SAN environments and storage server networks.
