The StorageTek 9940 is a
single-spool, high-capacity tape with a capacity of 60 GB uncompressed and
about 120 GB compressed. Unlike the 9840 cartridge, which contains two spools
and is a center-load, quick-access design, the 9940 is designed for higher capacity.
The single-spool design has room for more tape than the two-spool 9840 design,
so the capacity is higher, but the 9940 gives up the center-load quick-access of
the 9840.
The tape cartridge design is unique to the StorageTek T9940 drive and cannot be read in the
StorageTek T9840, or other drives such as 3480 or 3590.
DISC reads and writes 9940
tapes from the T9940A drive. |
