The StorageTek® 9940 tape
cartridge was designed with StorageTek T9940 tape drives
to store up to 200 gigabytes of uncompressed data, or up
to 400 gigabytes with 2:1 data compression, on a single
cartridge. This ultra-high capacity makes the 9940
cartridge ideal for your high-volume archiving, backup
and disaster recovery applications. |

Applications |
Backup
and restore
Using 9940 cartridges with T9940 tape drives for
backup and restore shortens backup and recovery
times with high transfer rates and fewer cartridge
mounts and dismounts. 9940 tape cartridges preserve
data through the most strenuous reading, writing and
retention processes. |
Archiving
9940 tape cartridges with T9940 tape drives are a
high-capacity choice for enterprise archiving
systems requiring continuous use and long data
retention periods. When implemented with VolSafe
write-once-read-many (WORM) secure media, T9940 tape
drives help secure critical data as it is archived. |
Disaster
recovery
9940 cartridges with T9940 tape drives are an
integral part of enterprise disaster recovery
processes that remotely vault data in tape form.
9940 tape cartridges have the durability and
longevity required to keep vaulted data safe over
its life. |

|
Benefits |
Reduced
costs
Ultra-high capacity cartridge saves you money with
the lowest dollar-per-gigabyte media, minimizes tape
mounts and improves automation efficiency for less
wear to hardware. |
High
reliability
The StorageTek 9940 tape cartridge is built to
perform a minimum of 10,000 tape mounts. It features
a single reel form factor with a leader block
designed for high reliability. |
Investment protection
Full backward read and write compatibility protects
your investment in tape drives and libraries. The
media is designed and packaged in the 3480 form
factor. |
|
| |
|
Features |
Pre-labeling, initializing
The cartridges can be pre-labeled and initialized,
then verified with a triple quality check. This
process reduces the downtime and costs from poorly
applied labels or incorrect initialization. |
Seamless
integration
System-testing with StorageTek T9940A and T9940B
tape drives and StorageTek libraries saves labor and
time resources at installation and in production. |
Durable
design
The 9940 tape cartridge’s heavy-duty shell design
offers excellent physical protection, which means
fewer damaged cartridges and lower replacement and
data recovery costs. |
StorageTek 9940 VolSafe data cartridge
StorageTek’s 9940 VolSafe® data cartridge provides
200 gigabytes (native) of non-erasable,
non-rewritable, write-once-read-many (WORM) storage
for use in T9940B tape drives. |
