ADIC Shipping Quantum Super DLTtape Products

As we talked about yesterday , more and more folks seem to be ditching their old reliable tape drives in favor of "Super Drives" and the company that has sold the largest number of these gadgets is Quantum (at least according to Freeman Reports). Well, Quantum just let us know that Advanced Digital Information Corporation (ADIC) is now shipping Scalar model tape libraries that include systems that incorporate Quantum's backward-read compatible Super DLTtape technology. The Super DLTtape models in ADIC's Scalar family include the Scalar 100, Scalar 1000 and Scalar 10K. Scalar libraries support from 1 to 324 Super DLTtape drives, and from 15 to more than 8,000 Super DLTtape cartridges. Quantum's first Super DLTtape drive is the SDLT 220. It operates at a native capacity of 110 GB and a native transfer rate of 11MB/second, and gives you backward read compatibility with DLTtape IV media cartridges recorded on DLT 4000, DLT 7000, DLT 8000, and DLT1 drives. Back up the world.
