Subject: [Veritas-bu] LTO-5 tape, what will it be called in NBU? hcart2?

Hi,

'hcart' = lto1/lto4
'hcart2' = lto2
'hcart3' = lto3

While this is cool, I am still waiting for the announcement and pricing on 
the IBM/Fujitsu(?) 35TB/tape technology.

Cool,

Just saw this:

the storage capacity of the previous generation tape, increased data
transfer rates, and a new partitioning functionality.

The LTO 5 tape has a native capacity of 1.5TB (3.0TB compressed) and data
transfer rates of up to 280 MB/s.

cartridge
     * Meets compliance objectives with WORM (Write-Once, Read-Many)
functionality
     * Generation 5 drives are are backward-compatible read-and-write
capability with the gen4 cartridges, and backward read capabilities with
gen3 cartridges
     * Imation TeraAngstrom technology yields tape with a smoother surface
and a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) resulting in fewer errors and faster
transfer rates
     * Servo-writing technology allows for precise alignment between drive
head and data tracks
     * Physical tape cartridge features including a patented corner snap and
three-piece tape spool
