Sony GY8240UWD DTF-2 Ultra Wide Differential
SCSI

Highly suited for a wide range of stand alone or
automated library computing environments and equipped with an Ultra
Wide differential SCSI interface, Sony's DTF-2 model GY8240UWD computer
peripheral tape drive will read and write uncompressed capacity
of 200GB with large cassette or 60GB with small cassettes. The unit
incorporates compression for average data capacities of 518GB or
155GB, respectively.

Ultra High-Speed Data Recording at 24MB/s:
Incorporates years of Sony's advanced magnetic recording technology,
providing an extremely high sustained native data rate of 24MB/sec
(86GB/hr).
Read Compatibility with DTF-1:
Can read tapes recorded by a GY-2120 at its transfer rate of 24MB/sec,
so users can now access their tape assets in half the time.
Powerful Error Correction:
Maintains a very low bit error rate of 1 x 10E-17 or less.
Excellent Reliability:
Incorporates the following features: long-life amorphous read heads,
automatic head cleaning system, precision tape transport system
mounted on a rugged die-cast chassis, and sophisticated self-diagnostics.
Faster Data Access with Sony Tele-File™
System:
Sony's unique Tele-File system uses a non-contact type of flash
memory in the form of a label attached to a cassette which hold
data relating to both tape and system management; the GY-8240 series
tape drive uses the data written onto the Tele-File memory to dramatically
reduce load and unload times.
