HP conducted an experiment among different brands of LTO 3 ultrium backup data cartridges. The tests prove that users of HP LTO3 Ultrium data cartridges could obtain twice the data capacity per backup and significantly greater reliability. HP branded LTO3 Ultrium data cartridges provided upto three times as many continuously successful backup and restore cycles. The price of HP LTO-3 Ultrium cartridge is less than the other competing brands. Testing in extreme climatic conditions have demonstrated the reliability of HP LTO Ultrium media, where data has been fully recovered from tapes that have withstood the worlds most extreme environments. The test engineers took four LTO3 Ultrium RW cartridges. The two tapes were from HP and two from another leading brand and tested them in four HP StorageWorks Ultrium 960 drives. They test was conducted in a controlled environment of 74F and relative humidity of 15. In the first stage of the test procedure, the cartridges were put through 100 continual full volumes, 400-GB native capacity, backup and restore cycles. This means that the total was 200 full-volume operations. The bit error rate BER was measured every 2 GB throughout the process. Data error rates provide the most informative measure of performance. The data rate also relates to how the tape is manufactured, the signal characteristics of the tape, its quality of coating, and the surface roughness. If the error rates are high, the drive has to work hard to verify that data is being saved or restored properly. High error rate occur when the signal becomes noisy and distorted. In the worst case, error rate levels ultimately reach a point where the drive cannot cope with correcting mistakes and data may be lost altogether. HP has developed proprietary software for the HP drives, this software acts like a powerful tape microscope and allows the user to analyze the performance of the backup and http://advice-and.info/Computers-and-Technology/89133_Hp_Lto-3_Ultrium_Data_Cartridges_Comparative_Brand_Testing.html Tue, 24 Jun 2008 01:17:54 GMT iNetFormFiller batch-submits your data to web forms and kills manual data entry as you send the entire selection of records to the target web forms in a single mouse click.
