Quantum offers a broad range of data tape products that ensure the perfect balance of price and data reliability. Loss of sensitive business data can be very costly, and ongoing backup routine can help you to bounce back from such dreadful situations. SDLT tape technology supports the industry-leading backup applications, and provides its users a highly scalable platform along with additional features of backward compatibility, long term durability, and low operational cost.

Quantum SDLT-320 tape drive, based on SDLT-1 tape technology, ensures robust protection, enhanced head life and rock solid reliability. Quantum has intelligently combined the optical and magnetic recording techniques in its new SDLT-320 tape drives. These drives feature remarkable advancements in performance and media recording capacity (160 GB native).

Customers of remote offices, small and medium businesses and enterprise workgroups can count on the media performance of Quantum SDLT-1. Development of new laser guided optical servo mechanism has allowed to introduce optical tracking technology in Quantum SDLT 1 tape technology. The high ...
... performance attributes of magnetic and optical recording technique are combined by the LGMR technology. Optical servo tracks are written on backside of the tape reel, which frees up the other side of the tape for data storage. Quantum has leveraged the disk drive technology with help of new PRML (Partial Response Maximum Likelihood) channel, which has resulted in elevated levels of data integrity and efficiency. PRML channel has also helped to increase the quantity of data tracks.

Super DLT technology has become an industry standard. Media cartridges of DLT-IV tape format are fully supported by Quantum SDLT320 drives, and efficiently perform read & write operations on SDLT-1 and DLT-4 tapes. Superior data integrity is ensured with both these backup tapes. The customers can be assured of efficient data compression and longer working life with an incredible MTBF of 250,000 hours. Globally recognized backup software, operating systems and servers are fully compatible with the high speed Quantum SDLT-320 drive. SDLT-1 tape brands are:

- Quantum SDLT-1 tape cartridge
