Overview

The LTO PowerVault tape drive is a high-performance, high-capacity tape storage

device that is designed to back up and restore data and archive and retrieve files

in an Open Systems environment. The drive can be integrated into a system

(external model). There are six generations of the Dell PowerVault tape drives in

the LTO series of products.

Figure 1-1 shows the internal model of the tape drive. Figure 1-2 on page 1-2

Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) Interface

A drive with a SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface can be linked directly to

controllers. The SAS interface offers the following advantages over the traditional

SCSI interface:

vSAS enables multiple devices (up to 128) of different sizes and types to be

connected simultaneously with thinner and longer cables.

vIts full-duplex signal transmission supports up to 6.0 Gb/s.

vSAS drives can be hot-plugged.

Encryption

The Tape Drive has Application Managed Encryption (AME) functionality. You

must have an application that supports encryption to use the drive's encryption

capability. For more details, consult your application support documentation.
