LTO Ultrium internal tape drives are high-capacity, high performance tape drives. Both models are ideally suited for backup, restore and archive applications and provide excellent performance and reliability in stand-alone, automated and SAN-attached environments.
With superior performance and capacity, the LTO internal tape drives are an excellent alternative to SDLT, ¼ inch, 4mm or 8mm tape drives
IBM TotalStorage Ultrium Tape Drives T400 and T400F
 | To help meet the twin challenges of today’s enterprise environment—rapid data growth and shrinking backup windows—IBM® has introduced the second-generation IBM TotalStorage® Ultrium® Tape Drive T400/T400F. Using advanced technologies, this tape drive offers more than twice the data transfer rates of the preceding generation and doubles the cartridge capacity when used with the new Ultrium 2 media.

IBM System Storage T800V Tape Drive
 | The IBM System Storage™ T800V (SCSI) Tape Drive is an excellent tape storage solution for businesses requiring backup or low-cost, real-time archiving of their data within a small window of time. The new T800V has a storage capacity of up to 800 GB (with 2:1 compression), which is double the capacity of the Ultrium 2 technology. Along with its high capacity, the performance of the T800V Tape Drive has more than doubled over the previous generation of HH LTO drives in the market for a native data transfer rate of up to 60 MBps. The T800V Tape Drive provides an excellent alternative to slower and smaller capacity 1/4", 4 mm and 8 mm digital linear tape (DLT) or super linear digital tape (SDLT) tape drives.
