Quantum DLT VS80

Overview

The Quantum DLT VS80 fills the need for reliable tape storage in a small package.  The DLT VS80 offers the industry's first half-high, 5.25-inch form factor and offers 40GB of native capacity (80GB compressed) and a 3MB/second native transfer rate (6MB/second compressed). Available as an internally configured unit, the DLT VS80 uses the standard DLTtape IV media, and is backward read compatible with the popular DLT 4000 tape format.

Features

  • Native capacity of 40GB at 3MB/second transfer rate
  • 2:1 compression allows for 80GB capacity at 6MB/second transfer rate
  • Half-high, 5.25-inch form factor
  • Read and write compatible with the DLT1
  • Read compatible with the DLT 4000
  • Internal and external configurations available
  • Uses DLTtape IV media cartridges
