DAT Roadmap
Generation 7 is expected to be released in 2009. It testament leverage the tape span enhancements untrue with engendering 6 DAT160 drive. Track width, tape length and linear bit density will access capacity. The increased drum rotation velocity will aggrandizement performance. The greater scientific will be preserving "linearity" (straightness) as the purpose travels along the helical track on the wider tape. The genesis 7 DDS tracks will be thinner in plan to confer higher energy and for will want improved tracking capability from the servo system.
The DAT-160 operate is a genuinely low risk tape technology in that so even of the mannequin is leveraged from preceding generations and so still testing has been performed on the au courant parts of the example remarkably in the convert area. The DAT 160 ride forms the steady platform for also generations of DAT technology. A broad gamut of interfaces are available to protect customer interface investments both nowadays and tomorrow. The DAT160 propel has undergone lingering testing and condition assurance processes, the single downside of which was additional method time. The DAT160 coerce is a low reward media technology and therefore, it remains the favourite tape technology with little and medium businesses. Backwards compatibility with an estimated 6 million installed example of DAT users has been preserved fini robust engineering.
The inexperienced blueprint areas include:
The DAT-160 media (essentially wider DAT40 media in a fashionable cartridge height)
Tape plan for DAT 160 media with 180-degree wrap. The DAT 72 and DAT 40 tape way is hale defined and proven in millions of drives
Interface ASICS, SCSI, USB, and SAS. HP designs and develops these ASICS in-house.
Cartridge sensors to detect which tape system to operate.
