Page 15: Overview
Overview The HP StorageWorks DLT80 tape drive is a high-capacity, high-performance streaming tape drive designed for use with HP ProLiant servers and with HP AlphaServers. The drive has a multi-channel read/write head, uses a Digital Lempel-Ziv (DLZ) high efficiency data compression algorithm, and has a filing system to maximize data while minimizing data access time. -
Page 16: Software Included
■ HP Tru64 UNIX ■ Open VMS Multiple software utilities are also available to customers through the HP website and can be downloaded free of charge. System Requirements HP recommends equipping the server with a Fast Wide SCSI-2 Controller or higher. -
Page 17: Data Compression
Overview Data Compression The DLT80 drive reads and writes both uncompressed (native) and Digital Lempel-Div (DLZ) compressed data. The DLT80 drive features a native formatted capacity of 40 GB and a sustained native data transfer of 6.0 MB/s. When operating in compressed mode, data capacity is affected by how much the data can be compressed. - Page 18 Overview DLT80 Tape Drive Reference Guide...
