High Performance Data Protection for Workgroup and Enterprise Servers
New Milestones in Tape Performance and Capacity
The Quantum LTO-3 tape drive reaches sustained backup speeds of up to 136MB/sec* and capacities of up to 800GB per cartridge*.
Quantum’s exclusive 13-Speed Transfer feature maximizes the transfer rates of the LTO-3 tape drives by increasing tape streaming by automatically matching the host’s transfer speed to one of the thirteen Quantum LTO-3 tape drive’s speeds. This virtually eliminates the normal “backhitching” that slows down many tape drives.
Reliability Is Proven Time and Time Again
Quantum adds exclusive features like SmartVerify to concurrently verify all data written to the tape, virtually eliminating the time consuming verify pass during backup operations . In addition, features like MediaShield, an advanced cooling design, helps provide extended tape life to over 500 full backups.
Easy Integration
The Quantum LTO -3 is extensively designed and tested to be backward compatible with LTO-2 for both read and write and to be read compatible with LTO-1. This makes upgrades easy without loosing the use of previous generation tapes or data, and, is compatible with all major backup software packages.
