Media: SLR

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.

Technology overview

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.

Features

20 Year Data Protection. This secures your valuable records and assures 20-year archiving.

Wearable Parts. 80 percent of the wearable parts are in the data cartridge. Using a new cartridge is almost like getting a new drive.

Tape Path. The tape remains completely protected at all times inside the cartridge.

Base Plate. A heavy base plate is used for mechanical stability, heat dissipation and static discharge.

Temp and Humidity Ranges. Compared to other media technologies, wide temperature and humidity tolerances provide better operation in extreme environments.

Imation Cartridge. High performance Metal Particle (MP+) magnetic media cartridge manufactured by Imation.
