Qualstar 6101

Product Description:

The 6101 is the right desktop DLT tape drive for users who anticipate upgrading to autoloaders or libraries in the near future. The 6101 uses the same automation model DLT4000 or DLT7000 tape drive and library-ready mounting enclosure as our TLS-6000 Series DLT Tape Libraries. Your investment is protected and the useful life of the tape drive is extended as systems expansion requires automation solutions. Converting the 6101 to library use takes under a minute, then just slide the drive assembly into one of the five TLS-6000 automation models.

The 6101 is an ideal backup and archiving solution for individual servers and workstations. Capacity ranges from 20 gigabytes to 70 gigabytes, and throughput over 35 gigabytes per hour can be achieved using compression. DLT tape drives are supported by every UNIX, NT, or NetWare platform, and all backup and archive applications, making integration of the 6101 easy.

Operating standalone tape drives using just the information provided by the drives LEDs can be frustrating. The 6101 features an LCD display to provide over 20 status messages, including Reading, Rewind, Seeking, and Writing to keep users fully informed, taking the guesswork out of tape operations.

Like our TLS-Series Tape Libraries, the 6101 supports all SCSI-2 standards for easy integration with other devices. The LCD control panel makes setting the SCSI address easy.
