IBM 3490-E01
The 3490-E01 is a table-top version. See the
Model E11 for the rack- mounted version. This
Enhanced Capability model is a substantially
lower priced 3490E tape subsystem designed for
the RS/6000* and AS/400*. The 3490E family of
tapes are the fastest, most reliable tape
systems available from IBM for AS/400 and for
RS/6000. It includes a seven cartridge Cartridge
Stack Loader, a 16-bit, fast-and-wide,
SCSI-Differential Interface, a 3490E tape
transport, and an integrated control unit. The
maximum effective throughput is up to 6.5MB per
second. The seven-cartridge Cartridge Stack
Loader provides an automated, unattended backup
capacity of up to 16.8 GB with compressible
data. Uncompressed, the capacity is up to 5.6
GB. Compression is provided by the 3490E's IDRC
data compression hardware. |
