Features

The STT8000A embodies Seagate's commitment to engineer reliable and durable

tape drive products. Key features of the drive are as follows:

• Two Internal form factors for installation in 5.25-inch half-high or 3.5-inch by

one-inch drive bays

• Capability to write and read Travan TR-4 (QIC-3095) media, as well as

minicartridge or QIC-Wide media conforming to the QIC-3080 standard

• QIC-3095-MC tape format compliance for compatibility and information exchange

• Typical uncompressed capacities of 4 Gbytes on 740-foot TR-4 media; 2

Gbytes on 400-foot QIC-Wide media; and 1.6 Gbytes on 400-foot quarter-inch

minicartridge media

• Typical compressed capacities of 8 Gbytes on 740 foot TR-4 media; 4 Gbytes on

400-foot QIC-Wide media; 3.2 Gbytes on 400-foot quarter-inch minicartridge media

• Transfer rate optimized with

FastSense

—automatic selection of fastest

supportable data transfer rate (600, 450, or 300 Kbytes/sec)

• ATAPI interface that supports DMA and PIO modes 0, 1, or 2 with 512 Kbytes on-

drive data buffer to facilitate the most efficient use of the host computer and tape

drive.

• Uncorrectable error rate of less than 1 in 10

bits

• Flash EEPROM to enable electrically upgradeable drive firmware

• Custom Seagate -designed LSI circuitry to reduce component count and boost

drive reliability

• Low power consumption—less than 15.0 Watts (typical) for internal drives
