I agree, in my environment I have not seen anything that can saturate a 2GB FC link. I am thinking that choosing a drive with more speeds will give improved "real-world" performance rather than a drive that can peak very high. (although peaks of 180 MB/s would blow my socks off :) ) On 9/13/07,

The biggest problem is to have an architecture that can feed that transfer rate .. because at those speed, one drive just saturates a 2 Gb FC link. ;op On 9/13/07, Justin Piszcz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On Thu, 13 Sep 2007, Gregory Demilde wrote: > > > Native drive speed of the T10K is 1

Native drive speed of the T10K is 120 MB/s ... it is even closer to 130 MB/s..; so If you are using compression and you feed the data fast enough you can go over the 170 MB/s.. I had peaks over the 180 MB/s On 9/13/07, Justin Piszcz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On Thu, 13 Sep 2007, Schaefer,

Does anyone have any experiences with the Sun/StorageTek T1 tape drive? I am doing some research on a D2D2T solution that would include a secure tape option. The T1 can do (supposedly) encryption at a device level. Thanks, Brad Hillebrand Senior Network Analyst Federal Home Loan Bank of
