Product Description

DDS is historically the most reliable & durable technology ever introduced within the tape market. DDS is ideal for entry-level & small networks looking for higher capacities with lower cost of ownership. DDS is an affordable solution for unattended back ups. HP co-invented DDS technology & was the first company to expand its DDS offering into the 5th generation known as DAT-72. In addition to co-inventing the DDS technology, HP also co-invented DAT-72 & the new generation of DAT-160. HP's DDS media portfolio is now the most robust within the industry. HP has extended an already popular & trusted format by doubling the transfer rate to 12 MB/sec & more than doubling the capacity to 160 GB to create the new DAT 160. Protecting the needs of small or medium business, the HP Storage Works DAT 160 USB (Universal Serial Bus) Tape Drive is the highest capacity & performance DAT drive with up to 160GB compressed data per cartridge & speeds of around 50GB/hr (assuming 2:1 data compression).

Please note: networking components such as switches, routers, UPS & wireless devices require that speeds & standards be consistent throughout the network to gain optimum performance.
