Data transmission
Data transfer rate:Rate at which data can be transferred. Usually expressed in units per second. May vary with network configurations.
6 Gbit/s
Sustained data transfer rate (native):
300 MB/s
Burst transfer rate:
600 MB/s
General
Type:Characteristics of the device.
Backup Storage Devices
Packaging data
Package weight:Weight of the packaged product.
2.99 kg
Package height:The distance from the top to the bottom of the packaging.
320 mm
Package depth:The distance from the front to the back of the packaging.
241 mm
Package width:The distance from one side of the packaging to the other.
240 mm
Performance
Storage media types supported:
LTO-8
Standard interfaces:Most common industry-standard communication protocols ranging from RS-232, RS-422, RS-423, RS-485, and LVDS to USB.
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)
Form factor:The shape or design of the product.
5.25" Half-height
Compression ratio:The ratio between the uncompressed file size and compressed size. Thus a representation that compresses a 10MB file to 2MB has a compression ratio of 10/2 = 5, often notated as an explicit ratio, 5:1 (read "five" to "one"), or as an implicit ratio, 5/1.
2.5:1
Internal:The product is built in.
Interface:Interface ports to connect pieces of equipment. USB (Universal Serial Bus) has become the most popular wired interface to connect peripherals. USB 2.0 supports speeds up to 480 Mbit/s (USB 1: 12 Mbit/s). The interface FireWire is also known as the IEEE 1394 standard. Enhanced IDE (EIDE)is sometimes referred to as Fast ATA, Fast IDE or ATA-2.
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)
Media type:The type of media e.g. DVD, Blu-ray.
Tape Cartridge
Product type:The sub-category of the product.
Storage drive
Storage
Compressed capacity:The maximum storage capacity of a storage medium when applying data compression. Usually measured in bytes e.g. gigabytes (GB). Sometimes the conditions are mentioned for reaching the maximum capacity mentioned, like tape length, the number of storage units, or the type of storage equipment/medium.
30 TB
Native capacity:Actual medium capacity without applying compression.
12 TB
Weight & dimensions
Weight:Weight of the product without packaging (net weight). If possible, the net weight is given including standard accessories and supplies. Please note that sometimes the manufacturer leaves out the weight of accessories and/or supplies.
1.61 kg
Height:The measurement of the product from head to foot or from base to top.
41 mm
Depth:The distance from the front to the back of something.
205 mm
Width:The measurement or extent of something from side to side.
146 mm
Size (imperial):
13.3 cm (5.25")
