Backing up to tape is a key component of a complete storage strategy. Tape drives can be used for creating daily and weekly backups that allow customers to move information off-site and can be used for archival purposes to retain data for many years.

The SDLT 600 is designed for the customer whose data protection needs are outgrowing the capacity of their existing SDLT drives. The SDLT 600 provides almost double the capacity and performance of the SDLT 320.

The HP StorageWorks SDLT 600 Tape Drive offers a reliable DLT-based backup solution. With 600 GB capacity compressed, the SDLT 600 provides the highest capacity point available for customers who have standardized on DLT technology. The SDLT 600 Tape Drive has a transfer rate of 72MB/sec compressed. The native capacity is 300 GB and the uncompressed transfer rate is 36MB/s.
