KEY SYSTEM FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Feature	Benefit
5 TB native capacity, 5.5 TB with StorageTek Maximum Capacity	Maximize existing library footprint by gaining over 3x the storage capacity with fewer slots and cartridges over the competition
Native sustained data rate (uncompressed) = 252 MB/sec. Full file host data rate (uncompressed) = 240 MB/second (includes wrap turnarounds).	Leverage high performance
Backward read compatible with StorageTek T10000A and B tape drives	Optimize media investments by utilizing old and new media side by side
Large 2 GB buffer cache	Stream data to the cache to alleviate bottlenecks, improve streaming, and nearly eliminate starts, stops and back-hitching
Data integrity validation	50-70% faster performance dramatically reduces backup windows by 33% or more
Native FC and FICON compatibility	Connect natively to both open systems and mainframe.
StorageTek File Sync Accelerator and StorageTek Tape Application Accelerator	Reduces starts and stops, improving drive performance and reducing wear on the tape drive and media
StorageTek Tape Tiering Accelerator	Drive partitioning facilitates optimal placement of data on tape, such that most often accessed data is fastest to access
StorageTek In-Drive Reclaim Accelerator	Allows data to be written in gaps on a tape, minimizing reclaim activity and enabling data to be written over expired data
