Scan Digital Audio Tape/Digital Data Storage
(DAT/DDS)
Digital Audio Tape (DAT) was originally
developed as a format for consumer audio
applications and was
later expanded by Hewlett-Packard and Sony
through the Digital Data Storage (DDS) standard
so that
DAT drives could be used for reliably storing
computer data. Specifications for the current
DAT standard,
DDS-4, were developed in 1997 and endorsed
by the Digital Data Storage Manufacturers
Group, which
consists of industry-leading tape storage
organizations.
DDS-4 has a native capacity of 20GB on a
single data cartridge (40GB compressed with
a 2:1 data
compression ratio) at native backup speeds
up to 2.75 MB/sec (5.5 MB/sec compressed).
Compared to
the previous DDS-3 DAT standard, that represents
a 67 percent increase in capacity and a
150 percent
increase in performance. The increased capacity
of DDS-4 is accomplished through a reduction
in the
track pitch from 9.1 µm to 6.8 µm,
increasing the number of tracks written
over 1 mm of tape from 12
tracks to 16. DDS-4 also uses an increased
tape length of 155 meters (up from 125 meters).
The
increased transfer rate is achieved by improvements
in read/write head technology, increased
drum
speed, improved channel recording techniques
and advances in media technology.
Sony and HP both stated that they would
undertake no further development of the
10-year-old DDS
standard beyond the DDS-4 format. Sony will
instead replace its DDS line with AIT solutions
starting with
the enhanced AIT-1 drive, while HP will
cover the space that it traditionally sold
DDS with DLT1 products.
Exabyte has also entered the segment and
is attempting to lure DDS users with its
VXA products that
were acquired in late 2001 through its merger
with Ecrix Corporation.
