The IBM System Storage® TS2260 Tape Drive Express® is the answer
to growing storage requirements—and shrinking backup windows.
Incorporating the latest generation of industry-leading LTO technology,
the TS2260 Tape Drive is suited for handling backup, save and restore,
and archival data storage needs with higher capacity and higher data
transfer rates than the previous generation. In addition, the LTO
Ultrium 6 technology is designed to support media partitioning and the

The IBM System Storage TS2260 Tape Drive is an excellent tape
storage solution for organizations requiring backup and low-cost,
archival storage of data. The TS2260, with a half-height form factor,
offers more capacity than the full height LTO Ultrium 5 tape drive in
less space. The TS2260 provides a physical storage capacity of up to
6.25 TB (with 2.5:1 compression). The data transfer performance has
increased over the previous LTO Ultrium half-height generation with a
transfer rate of up to 160 MBps with 6 Gbps SAS interface connectivity.
It also offers two SAS and one Ethernet port per drive to improve
availability.
