IBM System Storage TS2340 Tape Drive Express Model
Today, data is a key corporate asset in all types of businesses. The ability to access data quickly and reliably is critical to your success. Whether your business utilizes a high-performance network server or individual workstations, archiving and retrieving data in a dependable and consistent manner is mission critical.
The IBM System Storage™ TS2340 Tape Drive—the entry-level IBM System Storage tape product family offering—is the answer to growing storage requirements and shrinking backup windows. Incorporating the fourth generation of advanced Linear Tape-Open™ (LTO) technology, the TS2340 Tape Drive is suited for handling the backup, save and restore, and archival data storage needs of a wide range of small systems. In addition, the TS2340 provides added security features by supporting encryption of data with 3 Gbps SAS connectivity.
The IBM System Storage TS2340 Tape Drive is an excellent tape storage solution for businesses requiring backup or low-cost, real-time archival storage of their data within a small window of time—it offers high capacity and performance to help address the most demanding requirements. The TS2340 has a physical storage capacity of up to 1.6 TB (with 2:1 compression) in conjunction with the IBM Ultrium™ 800 GB data cartridge, which provides up to double the capacity of previous Ultrium 3 technology. Along with its higher capacity, the data transfer performance of the TS2340 Tape Drive has increased over the previous generation for a native data transfer rate of up to 120 MBps. The TS2340 Tape Drive continues to provide an excellent alternative to slower and smaller capacity 1/4-inch, 4 mm and 8 mm DLT/SDLT tape drives

- New SCSI Log Pages – Device Statistics – Tape Diagnostic Data – Performance Characteristics
| Performance Characteristics | TS2340 Tape Drive |
| Native data rate | 120 MB/s (with Ultrium 4 media) |
| Maximum sustained data rate (at maximum compression) | 140 MB/s (SCSI) or 240 MB/s (SAS) |
| Burst data rate | 160 MB/s (SCSI) or 300MB/s (SAS) |
| Nominal load-to-ready time | 12 seconds |
| Nominal unload time | 17 seconds |
| Average rewind time | 54 seconds |
Note: All sustained data rates are dependent on the capabilities of the interconnect (for example, an UltraSCSI bus is limited to less than 40 MB/sec).
