Sun StorageTek L700e Tape Library

Specifications

No Longer Orderable

Choice of capacities, drives and cartridges - that's the L700e. It provides the value and flexibility required in today's evolving IT departments.

Key Specifications

  • Connect two L700e's and scale from 678 cartridges to 1,344 with the unique pass-through-port
  • Supports a combination of 12 to 40 tape drives depending on configuration, including the Sun StorageTek T10000, T9840, T9940 lines of tape drives along with Linear Tape Open (LTO) and Super DLT (SDLT) tape drives.
  • 4D Robotics™ technology and digital vision system lets all applications read and write simultaneously and multiple applications can share large data pools.
