Internal tape drive
Description
TR5
This internal tape drive, which is included with the Compaq
Workstation PW8000, is used to back up the workstation hard drive.
The TR5 internal tape drive has an expected data transfer rate of 60
MB per minute and uses tapes with a maximum capacity of 10 GB
uncompressed, or 20 GB compressed. The tape drive performance
and tape capacity of the internal tape drives allow you to complete a
full backup of the hard drive in a reasonable amount of time, using
only one or two tapes.
NOTE: Because of the large capacity of the RAID device, using one
of the internal tape drives to back up the RAID would require
numerous tapes and many hours. Therefore, it is strongly
recommended that you purchase and use the optional Sony AIT tape
drive for backup of a RAID system.
