19P4209 Overview
19P4209-IBM SLR60 30/60GB Tapes are high-capacity magnetic data cartridges designed for reliable data storage in IT environments requiring consistent backup and long-term archiving solutions. These tapes utilize the SLR (Scalable Linear Recording) technology, specifically corresponding to the SLR60 generation, and provide a native storage capacity of 30GB and a compressed capacity of up to 60GB, making them suitable for mid-range enterprise backup tasks. With a native data transfer rate of up to 6 MB/s and a tape length of approximately 224 meters, the SLR60 tapes excel in environments demanding steady performance and data integrity.
The SLR60 tapes do not support WORM (Write Once, Read Many) functionality or in-cartridge encryption. Intended for use in standard data backup and archival workflows, these tapes are compatible with tape libraries utilizing SLR60 drives and are optimized for data centers, offsite backup, and cold storage scenarios. Featuring a robust archival life of up to 30 years and a standard black cartridge color, they ensure reliable data retention in enterprise environments requiring compliance and long-term data preservation.
