Glossary

Partial Response Maximum Likelihood is a method for converting the weak analog signal from the head of a magnetic disk drive into a digital signal. Also see <Link>Advanced PRML.

Printed Wiring Assembly - Commonly known as PCB(A) for Printed Circuit Board (Assembly).

An Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) for the tape drive.

To replace data on the hard drive with data obtained from another media device.

Restrictions on Hazardous Substances is an EU directive that restricts, and in some cases bans, the use of certain compounds in the manufacture of electronic equipment. RoHS mandates that new electrical and electronic equipment put on the market does not contain lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, poly-brominated biphenyls (PBB), or poly-brominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE).

Storage Area Network. Super Digital Linear Tape.

The movement of a read/write head to a specific data track. This is a FTP server embedded in the SDLT 600A firmware.

SITE This command is used for site-specific commands. Compliant to FTP norm.

SRAM Static RAM. A memory chip that requires power to hold its content.

Take-up Reel The reel inside every tape drive onto which DLTtape or Super DLTtape media is wound. The in-the-tape drive take-up reel enables DLTtape and Super DLTtape systems to operate using a single-reel cartridge and thereby pack more media and data into every cartridge.
