Introduction
About the DDS Autoloader Unit
The TSL-S11000 is a DDS autoloader unit containing a built-in DDS drive
unit SDT-11000. The magazine provided with the unit accommodates eight
data cartridges, and data cartridges set into the magazine are automatically
loaded into the SDT-11000. (Either 1 or 7 cartridges can be used in the unit at
one time.)
The built-in SDT-11000 supports the DDS, DDS-2, DDS-3 and DDS-4 data
formats.
Features
The DDS Autoloader Unit TSL-S11000 has the following features:
· A highly-durable linear guide mechanism provides automatic loading/
unloading of data cartridges to the built-in DDS drive unit SDT-11000.
· The Digital Data Storage format provides a huge data storage capacity on
DDS-4 data cartridges.
· Read After Write Function and third-level error correction code guarantee
high data reliability.
· When data is recorded using data compression together with 150-meter
DDS-4 data cartridges, you can record up to 20 to 40 gigabytes of data on a
single data cartridge.*1
· Stored data are automatically checked for compression. The drive unit can
read uncompressed data written by earlier-model drives.
· Features an embedded SCSI interface (Ultra/Wide, single-ended or low-
voltage differential).
· Read/Write operation is available with the DDS, DDS-2, DDS-3 and
DDS-4 formats.
