The IBM System Storage™ TS2230 Tape Drive Express Model (TS2230), P/N 3580L3E is an excellent tape storage solution for entry-level businesses requiring backup or low-cost, real-time archival of their data within a small window of time—high-capacity and performance can meet the most demanding requirements. The new TS2230 has a storage capacity of up to 800GB (with 2:1 compression) in conjunction with the new IBM TotalStorage® LTO® Ultrium™ 400GB data cartridge, which is double the capacity of the Ultrium 2™ technology. Along with its high capacity, the performance of the TS2230 Tape Drive has more than doubled over the previous half-high LTO generations for a native data transfer rate of up to 60 MBps. The TS2230 Tape Drive provides an excellent alternative to slower and smaller capacity 1/4- inch, 4 mm and 8 mm DLT/SDLT tape drives.

The IBM System Storage™ TS2240 Tape Drive Express Model is an external drive incorporating the 4th and newest generation of IBM LTO™ technology in a half-high form factor. This is an external stand-alone or rack-mountable unit, similar to previous models of the TS2230 and is the entry point for the family of IBM Ultrium™ tape products. The TS2240 supports encryption of data with a 3 Gbps SAS connection. In addition, the TS2240 can read and write LTO Ultrium 3 Data Cartridges and read LTO Ultrium 2 Data Cartridges. The TS2240 Tape Drive provides an excellent migration path from digital linear tape (DLT or SDLT), 1/4-in., 4 mm, or 8 mm tape drives.
