IBM 3592-E07 Tape drive

TS1140 Tape Drive (machine type 3592) is the fourth generation for the highly
successful 3592 Tape Drive. It is designed for high-performance tape applications,
including:
• High-speed data-save operations where backup windows are critical and large
amounts of data are archived to tape
• Large-scale automated tape environments where performance and reliability are
required
• Large-scale mass data archive applications where massive amounts of data need
to be quickly saved to tape for storage and later recalled (examples include the
seismic industry, data warehousing, and record management applications)
Capacity
The TS1140 is designed to provide up to 4.0 TB uncompressed capacity with the
new IBM Tape Cartridge 3592 Advanced Data (Type C) media. The exact ratio
depends on which cartridge is used with the tape drive.
The following table compares the cartridge capacity (native and with 3:1
compression) of the TS1140, TS1130, and TS1120:
