• WORM-supported LTO-3 tape drives
• WORM-supported LTO-4 tape drives
WORM allows non-erasable data to be written once and provides extra
data security by prohibiting accidental data erasure. When the library
firmware and WORM-supported LTO-3 or LTO-4 tape drive code are
installed on a library with LTO-3 or LTO-4 tape drives, the WORM
feature is supported whenever the operator uses WORM cartridges.
Tape Drives
Tape drives are enclosed in a universal drive sled. You can hot swap and
hot add all supported drives, regardless of type. The library supports the
following types of tape drives:
• IBM LTO-1 or LTO-2 LVD–SCSI
• IBM LTO-1, LTO-2, LTO-3, or LTO-4 FC Multi-mode
• HP LTO-3 FC Multi-mode
• Quantum SDLT-320 LVD–SCSI
• Quantum SDLT-600 FC
• Quantum DLT-S4 FC
