The Tape Array 5 is a 19-inch rackmount DLTtape storage system providing the industry's highest density fault
tolerant backup. With up to five hot swappable DLT drives, and dual redundant fans and power supplies, it is
designed for the most demanding high reliability data storage needs, including large databases, digital video, and
pre-press applications. The Tape Array 5 provides up to 43GB per hour throughput per drive and up to 80 GB per
cartridge. When combined with compatible RAID software packages, the Tape Array 5 provides multiple
RAIT/RAID options, including Levels 0, 1, 3, and 5.
