The TS2900 Tape Autoloader has a nine data slot cartridge
capacity for a total storage capacity of up to 27 TB with
2:1 compression, as well as a single I/O station designed to
provide undisturbed library operation when extracting or insert-
ing data cartridges. The TS2900 utilizes one IBM half-height
LTO drive, either an IBM half-height LTO generation 5, an
IBM half-height LTO generation 4 or an IBM half-height LTO
generation 3. The TS2900 is shipped as a rack mount unit, with
the option of a desktop conversion kit.

IBM half-height Ultrium 5 tape drives are designed to read and
write data at a transfer rate of up to 140 MBps and store up to
1.5 TB native on a single Ultrium 5 data cartridge (3.0 TB with
2:1 compression). IBM Ultrium 5 technology is designed with
the ability to read and write data to Ultrium 4 data cartridges as
well as read Ultrium 3 data cartridges, thus helping to protect
current investments in LTO cartridges. IBM half-height
Ultrium 4 tape drives are designed to read and write data at a
transfer rate of up to 120 MBps and store up to 800 GB native

sion). IBM Ultrium 4 technology is designed with the ability to
read and write data to Ultrium 3 data cartridges as well as read
Ultrium 2 data cartridges, thus helping to protect current
investments in LTO cartridges. The IBM half-height Ultrium 3
technology can read and write data up to 80 MBps for a data
cartridge capacity of up to 400 GB native (800 GB with
2:1 compression). In addition, IBM Ultrium 3 tape drives can
read and write data to Ultrium 2 data cartridges and read
Ultrium 1 data cartridges.
