- 80 GB native capacity
- 6 MB/sec native transfer rate
- VXA technology
Fully Compatible
VXA-2 uses the same data format that's been already
proven with VXA-1. It shares full compatibility with VXA-1, which
means it can read tapes written on a VXA-1 drive, and it can write
tapes that are readable by a VXA-1. In fact, VXA-2 uses all three
VXAtape cartridges already on the market for VXA-1. And, for even
more high-capacity storage, VXA-2 adds one new cartridge, the V23.
With four compatible tape capacities to choose from, covering the
range from 20 GB to 80GB, you can fine-tune your costs of ownership
to match your exact storage needs.
Fully Tested
More than 80% of the VXA-2 firmware, the sophisticated
logic that controls the drive, has already been tested in years
of use with VXA-1. The VXA-2 manufacturing process uses many of
the same tool sets and test suites already developed for VXA-1 The
only changes we've made were the ones needed to boost capacity and
performance - advanced ferrite recording heads, PRML and an active
rotor- for better signal processing, and an improved mechanism for
precise tape handling - but without sacrificing reliability This
means that VXA-2 comes to you as an exceptionally mature second-generation
drive. You can be sure it's ready to take the challenge of the most
demanding uses and environments.
Reliability
VXA tape drives format data in packets. This innovative
approach to tape data storage was introduced with VXA-1 in 1999.
VXA's patented Discrete Packet Format (DPFT) has been proven through
years of field experience as the most flexible and most reliable
tape format available today.
Value
With a starting price under $1,000, VXA-2
is the best tape storage value for servers, workstations, and desktops.
Check around. VXA-2 is simply the best value you'll find in a tape
drive - at any price!
