LTO-3 Half-Height Tape Drive
Introduction
Quantum LTO Ultrium tape drives leverage LTO technology and
Quantum-exclusive features to provide the most reliable and affordable
tape data protection to medium and large businesses.
Quantum LTO-3 Half-Height Tape Drives, models TC-L32AX and TC-
L32AN (internal), TC-L32BX and TC-L32BN (tabletop), and TC-L33CX and
TC-L33CN (rackmount), are the most reliable Ultrium drives on the market,
delivering reliability features only available from Quantum to extend
media life, Variable-speed Transfer to automatically match the host's data
transfer rate, and Dynamic Powerdown to protect the drive and media in
the event of power loss. Combined with SmartVerify to concurrently verify
all data written to the tape, these features make Quantum LTO drives a
sound investment and a complete data protection solution.
