18P9271-T-IBM 3592JA,300GB Color Labeled is a high-performance magnetic data tape cartridge designed for enterprise-class data storage and archival applications. This cartridge utilizes the IBM 3592 JA tape format, part of the robust IBM 3592 Enterprise tape family, and offers a native capacity of 300 GB with a compressed capacity of up to 900 GB (assuming a 3:1 compression ratio). It delivers a native data transfer rate of up to 40 MB/s and a compressed rate up to 120 MB/s, supporting fast backup and restore operations for critical business data.
This standard cartridge features color labeling for easy identification and integration into automated tape library environments. The IBM 3592 JA cartridge supports encryption for data security but does not offer WORM (Write Once, Read Many) functionality. With a tape length of approximately 320 meters, this cartridge is engineered for up to 30 years of archival life, making it ideal for enterprise backup, long-term archival, regulatory compliance, and cold storage scenarios where data integrity and security are paramount.
