Before choosing a tape system
Native capacity is the uncompressed figure. Compressed capacity depends on the data and stated compression ratio.
Tell us the daily data volume, backup window, retention period and expected restore workload.
Confirm the exact SAS or Fibre Channel drive variant, HBA, cables, firmware and backup software support.
Check the cartridge generation against the specific drive. LTO and IBM 3592 are different formats; read/write support varies by generation.
Check rack space, drive bays, licensed slots, power, environment and your off-site media rotation process.
No. Check the exact drive and media support table for the model you are buying. Read, write, WORM and cleaning-cartridge support can differ. A matching cartridge shape or host connector alone does not confirm compatibility.
