STORAGEWORKS 3U RACKKIT CPNT 1 ULTRIUM 960

The HP StorageWorks Rack-Mount Kits provide a high-density, rack-mountable tape drive enclosure for direct-attach SCSI, USB, and SAS backup and archiving applications. Because these enclosures use standard internal tape drives, they provide a cost-effective means of mounting tape drives in rack server environments. These enclosures provide customers with scalability, allowing the customer to add drives and migrate to new tape technologies as their capacity and performance needs grow. HP StorageWorks Rack-Mount Kits are supported by ProLiant, HP Integrity, and AlphaServer platforms.

The 3U Rack-Mount Kit is 5 of 6 RoHS compliant and holds up to two full-height SCSI only internal tape drives, four SCSI only half-height tape drives, or a combination of one full-height and two half-height tape drives. This enclosure supports a wide range of tape technologies, including DAT, DLT VS, SDLT, and Ultrium, with a maximum capacity of 1.6 TB using two Ultrium 960 drives or four Ultrium 448 drives (assuming 2:1data compression). The enclosure can support up to four separate SCSI buses, allowing tape drives to be configured for best performance (Ultra 160 or greater drives require cable option kit DWO63B (sold separately) when configuring 4 half-height drives).
