The Dell™ PowerVault™ 100T DDS-4 Tape Drive is a high capacity data
storage device using 4 mm DAT (Digital Audio Tape) technology. With a
combination of data compression and compaction, the tape drive offers a native
capacity of up to 20 GB (40 GB assuming a 2:1 compression ratio) and a sustained
user data transfer rate of up to 2.75 MBps (up to 5.5 MBps with 2:1
compression). It stores data on tape using a standard format called DDS (Digital
Data Storage). The drive achieves high data reliability through read-after-write
capability and three levels of error correction code. It is read and write
compatible with the DDS-4, DDS-3, DDS-2, DDS-1 and DDS-DC tape formats. In DDS-1
and DDS-DC mode, the tape drive supports 90 meter media. This product is
