IBM 3592-E07 Tape drive

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:
