DDS Tape Drive and Data Cassette Descriptions

This section describes basic information needed for using your DDS tape drive and data cassettes.

DDS Drive

Your DDS tape drive is either a DDS-DC (early or later model) or a DDS-2 tape drive with a 3.5-inch form factor, data compression, and a narrow sin- gle-ended SCSI interface. Both drives incorporate data compression capabil- ity and are high-capacity, high transfer-rate devices for data storage on tape. With compression, the DDS-DC drives can store up to 4 GB of data on a 90 meter tape and the DDS-2 drive can store up to 8 GB of data on a 120 meter tape.

Storage Capacities

The maximum storage capacities of different DDS drives with and without data compression are shown in the following tables;
