The Dell PowerVault 110T LTO-1 is a high-performance, eight-channel Ultrium tape drive which reads LTO-1 open standard media. With a combination of data compression and compaction, the PowerVault 110T LTO-1 tape drive offers a formatted cartridge capacity of 100 GB (200 GB assuming a 2:1 compression ratio) and a sustained user data transfer rate of 16 MBps (up to 32 MBps with 2:1 compression). It utilizes FastSense Optimization of data transfers, resulting in shorter backup times and increased reliability due to fewer stops and starts. The drive also incorporates Intelligent Data Compression, which maximizes performance and capacity by analyzing compressibility prior to recording. The PowerVault 110T LTO-1 drive supports Read While Write (RWW) and provides intelligent hardware data compression as well as cartridge soft load. Specifically designed for the high duty-cycle requirements of high-end and automated environments, the tape drive is rated at 250,000 hours MTBF at a 100% duty cycle.
