DLT VS80 provides you with the very same mission-critical reliability, capacity, performance, and value found in the successful DLT1, but in a half-height form factor.

A smaller form factor is a tremendous benefit in terms of space efficiency for both internal and external applications. DLT VS80 tape drive features DLT technology's first half-high, 5.25-inch form factor and offers 80 GB of compressed capacity and a 6 MB/second compressed transfer rate. Now PC servers or workstations can be backed up on one single tape cartridge housed in the server itself.

Scalability is the Solution
DLT VS80 provides a safe and easy transition into high-reliability tape technology because it offers true scalability. DLTtapeTM IV media is the basis for making DLT scalability a reality. The quality and reliability of this media is so exceptional that the DLT VS80 was developed specifically for DLTtape IV media. This media can be used in any DLT tape drive, plus it's widely available, so finding it is never an issue. As an added benefit,DLT VS80 is read- and write-compatible with the DLT1 and read-compatible with the DLT4000. DLT scalability is now a reality from the desktop to the enterprise.
