DLT-V4 Tape Drive Overview

1

The DLT-V4 tape drive is a value-priced, high-reliability, high-capacity 

linear streaming data cartridge tape drive designed for use on entry- to 

mid-range computing platforms. With a combination of data 

compression and compaction, the DLT-V4 tape drive offers a formatted 

data cartridge capacity of 320 gigabytes (GB) (assuming a 2:1 

compression ratio), and a sustained user data transfer rate of 

20 megabytes (MB)/sec (assuming a 2:1 compression ratio).
The DLT-V4 tape drive is a 5¼-inch, half-height form-factor device that 

uses ½-inch tape. Its design includes a four-channel read/write head, 

Lempel-Ziv (DLZ) high-efficiency data compression, and a tape-mark 

directory to achieve fast data throughput and data access times.
