The 20/40GB DAT DDS-4 tape drive is a high performance, low-cost tape backup solution for the corporate server market. The DDS-4 tape drive is the next generation from a long line of DAT products. This drive offers 20GB native capacity with a transfer rate of 2.4MBps and will utilize hardware data compression which can double these characteristics to 40GB and 4.8MBps.
