SONY SDT-5200 SCSI-2 DAT TAPE DRIVE

Information is the lifeblood of any business. And for small to mid-size organizations that store their data on single PCs, servers and local area networks, protecting that information is a vital concern. Hard drive failures, accidental deletion and power surges are only a few of the very real threats that can result in catastrophic data loss. Sony's family of DDS tape drives is the most cost-effective solution for backing up small to mid-size applications. Whether you're storing information from a single PC, workstation or a local area network, Sony's DDS solutions deliver superior reliability and performance. For users with higher capacity needs and fast access requirements, the DDS-2 compatible SDT-5000 series is the answer. Networks and multi-user systems pose a special challenge in terms of performance, demanding high capacity centralized storage and fast retrieval. The SDT-5000 series from Sony more than meets that challenge. The series features double speed transfer rate of 366 KB/s, DDS-2 compatibility, 8 GB storage capacity with DC-LZ data compression, super head cleaner which cleans the heads after every 15 minutes' use, and the Quick search function with 120 m tapes that is up to 200 times faster than normal speed.
