StorageTek 9940 and 9840 Tape Drives

 

The 9940 tape drive from StorageTek is a leading choice among those who need to store large and growing amounts of data and a highly reliable system. Businesses who need to maintain large numbers of records, back up a growing archive, or store data in preparation for disaster recovery will appreciate the StorageTek 9940 tape drive. 

The native storage capacity of the StorageTek 9940A tape drive is a full 60GB. Factor in compression and the StorageTek 9940B holds approximately 200GB of storage. If you’re already using a different type of StorageTek Virtual Storage Manager, the 9940 tape drive will integrate seamlessly, allowing businesses to multiply their storage capacity without having to buy new media. 

The T9940A Tape Drive is available with either HVD SCSI, ESCON or a Fibre Channel interface. The model T9940B comes standard with Fibre connectivity. 

The 9940 tape drive has a data buffer size of 8 megabytes, a maximum block size of 256 kilobytes, and supports tape alert and the following emulation modes: native, FCP-2 (FC Tape), 3490E, and 3590. 

The 9940 tape drive has a read/write speed of 79 IPS and a search/rewind speed of 315 IPS. The average search time for the 9940 tape drive is 41 seconds with a maximum rewind time of 90 seconds.
