Features
The Scorpion 240 DDS drive represents Seagate’s commitment to engineering
reliable and durable tape drive products that implement leading-edge technology.
Key features of the drive include:
•
Platform based on state-of-the-art drive mechanism and tape handling
components sealed in a dust-free enclosure.
•
Two models available: 5.25-inch full-height internal drive (STDL42401LW) and
external subsystem with built-in auto-sensing, worldwide power supply (model
(STDL62401LW))
•
ANSI/ECMA compliance and capability to write and read DDS-4, DDS-3, DDS-2,
and DDS cartridges. (The Scorpion 240 can use 90-meter DDS-1 media but not
60-meter DDS-1 media).
•
Advanced onboard DDS-DC hardware using Data Compression Lempel-Ziv
(DCLZ) data-compression algorithm
•
High-speed transfer rates for fast backups:
– 2.75 Mbytes per second typical—uncompressed data
– 5.5 Kbytes per second typical—compressed data
•
High-performance SCSI burst transfer rate of 10 Mbytes per second
asynchronous and 80 Mbytes per second synchronous
•
Flash memory to store setup parameters and enable field firmware upgrades
•
Four-head design with RAW error detection and rewrites
•
Three levels of ECC to ensure data integrity
•
Uncorrectable error rate of less than 1 in 10
15
bits
•
Custom Seagate-designed LSI circuitry to reduce component count and boost
drive reliability
•
LVD / Ultra Wide SCSI connection
•
Automatic power-on self-test
•
Support for TapeAlert™ Certified Solutions
