Benchmark DLT VS80

This tape backup option is a compact, high-density storage device that provides excellent storage capacity for entry to midrange server applications. Its 5.25-inch, half-high form factor enables economical internal installation into many IBM eServer xSeries servers. It can store up to 40GB of data in native mode and up to 80GB compressed.  Tape drives that use data compression technology have storage capacity that will vary depending upon whether the drive is operating in native mode ( without compression) or compressed mode. Although the compression technology used in IBM tape drives can typically double the amount of data stored on the media, the actual degree of compression achieved is highly sensitive to the characteristics of the data being compressed.
