SONY SDT-D7000 7000 DDS-2 DDS2 DAT8 DAT-8 4/8 GB 4MM SE

Sony’s family of DDS tape drives delivers cost effective solutions for backing up and archiving large amounts of data in small to mid-sized computer systems, workstations and small networks. This particular model, the SDT-D7000/PB External Tape Drive, is identical to SonyÂ?s SDT-7000/PB Internal Tape Drive except that it connects externally via a SCSI cable rather than mounting internally. The unit offers 4 GB capacity (with no compression) and 8 GB capacity (with 2:1 compression), and a 1566 kB per second sustained data transfer rate. The unit is read and write compatible with all DDS-2 and DDS-1 tape formats, and features SonyÂ?s Super Head Cleaner mechanism to lessen the need for periodic cleaning.
