About the DDS Autoloader Unit
The TSL-S11000 is a DDS autoloader unit containing a built-in DDS drive unit SDT-11000. The magazine provided with the unit accommodates eight data cartridges, and data cartridges set into the magazine are automatically loaded into the SDT-11000. (Either 1 or 7 cartridges can be used in the unit at one time.)
The built-in SDT-11000 supports the DDS, DDS-2, DDS-3 and DDS-4 data formats.
FeaturesThe DDS Autoloader Unit TSL-S11000 has the following features:
•A highly-durable linear guide mechanism provides automatic loading/ unloading of data cartridges to the built-in DDS drive unit SDT-11000.
•The Digital Data Storage format provides a huge data storage capacity on DDS-4 data cartridges.
•Read After Write Function and third-level error correction code guarantee high data reliability.
•When data is recorded using data compression together with 150-meter DDS-4 data cartridges, you can record up to 20 to 40 gigabytes of data on a single data cartridge.*1
•Stored data are automatically checked for compression. The drive unit can read uncompressed data written by earlier-model drives.
•Features an embedded SCSI interface (Ultra/Wide, single-ended or low- voltage differential).
