2 Performance values are based upon laboratory analysis and may differ from those realized by a user. These values do not constitute a guarantee of performance.
3 Maximum number of cartridges decreases as tape/control units are added.
4 Assumes TS1120 tape drive
5 Assumes 3590 Model H drive
6 Actual customer performance may vary depending on library configuration, host platform and tape application.
7 Each 3590 Tape Drive contains one transport. If mounted in an L12 or a D12 and not attached to a controller, each 3590 Tape Drive counts as one tape control unit.
8 Assumes 3590 Tape Drives Model H1A, High-Performance Cartridge Tapes, and 3:1 compression.
9 Assumes TS1120 at 3:1 Compression.
