Scalable
Linear Recording (SLR) tape technology has evolved through
five generations: SLR7, SLR60 SLR75, SLR100 and SLR140. SLR
technology provides high capacity and performance, reliability,
scalability, and backward and forward compatibility for the
use of existing media now and in the future. Data is recorded
in parallel on two tracks for SLR7 and on four tracks for
SLR60, SLR75, SLR100 and SLR140. Data placement ensures that
it can be read during a restore operation even if the media
is degraded.

SLR tape technology has evolved through three generations
to the two popular versions today: SLR75 and SLR140. Native
capacities for SLR75 and SLR140 are 37GB and 70GB (75GB and
140GB compressed) with speeds of 14GB/hour and 21GB/hour (28GB/hour
and 43GB/hour compressed). It has a 6-generation roadmap that
provides for a native capacity of 200GB per cartridge (400GB
compressed) and a transfer rate of up to 115GB/hour (230GB/hour
compressed).
SLR technology provides high capacity
and performance, backward compatibility, reliability, scalability
and the use of existing media now and in the future. The current
generation of SLR technology is characterized by large data
buffers, In-Line Compression feature and an Auto-Sense function
that optimizes tape speed.
This secures your valuable
records and assures 20-year archiving.
. 80 percent of the wearable parts are in the
data cartridge. Using a new cartridge is almost like getting
a new drive.
. The tape remains completely protected at all
times inside the cartridge.
. A heavy base plate is used for mechanical
stability, heat dissipation and static discharge.
Compared to other media technologies,
wide temperature and humidity tolerances provide better
operation in extreme environments.
. High performance Metal Particle (MP+)
