A single Quantum LTO-3 (MR-L3MQN-02) tape can backup huge volumes of information. Its capacity is 400GB/800GB. Archival life of Quantum LTO-3 tape is 30 years. You can also use previous versions of LTO tapes with the new LTO-3 drives. New information can be backed up on LTO2 cartridges and retrieved as well with Quantum LTO 3 tape drives. On the other hand the LTO3 drive will only read the LTO-1 ultrium media and will not write data on it. Backward compatibility feature makes up-gradation of storage system more convenient and affordable.
Quantum LTO3 format has established new industry standards. Quantum LTO3 drives deliver high class performance with lesser power consumption. Size of these LTO-3 drives is smaller; therefore they are more space efficient. Unique "Power Down" system has been employed that ensures robust protection of the drive's components during unexpected power failures. WORM functionality is a powerful feature offered by Quantum LTO-3. WORM technique assists the business organization to meet the regulatory requirements. The data stored on WORM cartridge is in non-rewritable format. So you can be confident about the data integrity.

Quantum LTO3 has the ability to withstand the pressure of increased workloads in enterprise and departmental servers. The performance of tape drive drops down if there is mismatch between the transfer speed of drive and host. Fluctuations in transfer speed can also affect the data reliability. That's why Quantum has developed a new technique called "Fast sense", which maximizes the performance and efficiency by matching the speed of drive with that of the host. Fast sense technology enables the drive can to perform backup functions with 13 different tape speeds. Cooling system of drive has been significantly improved with the introduction of Quantum's exclusive "Media-Shield" technology. Quantum LTO-3 drive has a large data buffer (128 MB), which helps to accelerate the read/write operations.
Quantum provides comprehensive support and service for all of its products. Quantum LTO-3 is the most efficient and affordable solution for today's data rich environments and E-businesses. Quantum LTO-3 drives come with the options of rack mount and table top. You can select the configuration according to your IT requirements.
