Rob and all, From the Yahoo DSS board, the long-awaited specs: Quantum Announces SDLT Specs Msg: 11229 of 11230 Joseph F. Kovar Computer Reseller News Publication Date: 05/08/2000 Las Vegas-Quantum Corp. this week used the NetWorld+Interop show, held here, to release the long-awaited specifications of its new Super DLTtape family. Quantum, Milpitas, Calif., has opted for the volley approach by coming out with three versions of the Super DLTtape technology within a relatively short period of time, instead of the usual model in which a single drive is released and follow-ups come every 12 to 24 months. The vendor is on track to release the first model of its Super DLTtape family, a drive featuring a native capacity of 110 Gbytes and data-transfer rate of 11 Mbytes per second, said William Boles, vice president of marketing at Quantum's DLTtape division. About one quarter after the initial introduction, the company plans to offer an 80-Gbyte native capacity version with a native data-transfer rate of 8 MBps aimed at the market space between Quantum's DLT7000 and Super DLTtape, Boles said. In the following quarter, Quantum expects to offer an enterprise version with native capacity of at least 110 Gbytes and native transfer rate of at least 16 MBps. The three new drives are expected to offer backward read compatibility with tape cartridges written via existing DLT 4000, DLT 7000, and DLT 8000 tapes, said Boles. However, initial models aimed at the tape library market will not offer that for at least one quarter, Boles said.
