Overview

The M8705A tape drive represents the fifth-generation of LTO tape drive technology
capable of storing up to 3TB per cartridge. The half-height tape drive is designed for
NonStop servers and BladeSystems. It supports LTO-5 media and provides investment
protection with full read and write backward support with LTO-4 media, and the ability
to read LTO-3 media cartridges. By nearly doubling the capacity of previous generation
LTO tape drives, fewer data cartridges are required to meet storage needs.
