Features and Benefits
Here's an example of flexibility that pays off: a tape drive that comes in a rack-mount or desktop format, or as a Sun server internal option. The rack-mount configuration comes standard with one drive, or an optional second drive, in a 1U form factor. It's a growth-smart space saver. Plus, it reads and writes DDS-3 and DDS-4 media for a painless upgrade path. Alternatively, you can choose a USB interface for your desktop drive, which provides quick set-up and lower acquisition cost.
Key Benefits
- MTBF of > 400,000 hours
- 1U rack size
- Rack-mount, desktop, or internal drive options
- SCSI or USB interface

High Reliability Backup
The numbers tell it
MTBF > 400,000 hours at a 12 percent duty cycle. That means low-cost longevity. If you're looking for cost-effective data protection for entry-level and midrange servers or workstations, that's good. The Sun StorageTek DAT 72 tape drive provides outstanding reliability as a secure backup and restore system for valuable data.
Flexibility for Longevity
An easy fit
This tape drive is suited to a long list of industries -- entertainment to education, manufacturing to retail, huge government to small office. Part of the reason is that it comes as an individual desktop unit or as a 1U rack-mount. It's also available in some Sun servers. Whatever suits you best will save you administrative time. Also, its easy integration allows you to spread the platform around to more users and uses.
Broadly compatible
Sun StorageTek DAT 72 tape drives offer plug and play functionality with heterogeneous servers, operating systems, and backup software.
Investment Protection by Design
Extend the value of what you already have
Sun StorageTek DAT 72 tape drive has a native capacity of 36 GB per cartridge with a native throughput of 3 MB/s. You can have 72 GB with hardware data compression on a DAT 72 data cartridge. Better yet for some, it's fully read and write compatible with DDS-3 and DDS-4 media. That extends the life of your existing media, adding a new level of security and reliability.
Multiple OS support, you pick the applications
You've got a heterogeneous environment, and you need to keep your options open? No problem. The Sun StorageTek DAT 72 tape drive covers Solaris OS, Linux, and Windows.
