applications - and not just those sold by HP. HP Ultrium tape drives work seamlessly in many environments, making them especially suitable if you have a
mixed system environment. For the latest list of servers, workstations, operating systems, and backup software that support HP Ultrium tape drives, check the
tape backup compatibility pages on our Web site at: http://www.hp.com/go/connect .

Performance Tuning
Performance TuningPerformance Tuning
Performance Tuning You will need to connect the drive to a dedicated SCSI Host Bus Adaptor (HBA), use Ultra 160 HBA or higher (e.g., HP
part number 268351-B21 or C7474A). To supply data to the drive fast enough to achieve full performance from an
Ultrium 460 drive, you will need at least eight disks as part of a RAID5 array with read cache enabled. You can test
the speed of your system with tools provided at http://www.hp.com/support/pat .
To achieve full performance from your tape drive, do not use the native backup application within the operating
system (e.g., NT® Backup, Windows® 2000 Backup). For full details of supported backup applications, see
