Features

Conglatuation on your purchase of the Sony DDS-3 drive SDT-9000.
The Sony TSL-9000 Autoloader is a DDS drive unit and cartridge changer
mechanism that provides high capacity data storage using 4-mm DAT
(Digital Audio Tape) technology. The TSL-9000 achieves high data
reliability by read-after-write, an additional level of Error Correction Code
and other features.
Recording media can be loaded in all 8 cartridge slots of the magazine, or,
depending on the application software, an 8-cartridge magazine can be loaded
with 1 cleaning cartridge and 7 recording cartridges. This configuration
results in the TSL-9000 having a typical total capacity of 168 GB with data
compression.
The TSL-9000 DDS Autoloader has the following features:
• A highly durable linear guide mechanism provides automatic loading/
unloading of data cartridges to the built-in SDT-9000 DDS drive unit .
• The Digital Data Storage format provides a huge data storage capacity on
DDS-3 data cartridges.
• Read-After-Write Function and third-level error correction code guarantee
high data reliability.
• When data is recorded using data compression together with 125-meter
DDS-3 data cartridges, you can record as much as to 24 to 48 gigabytes of
data on a single data cartridge.
• Stored data is automatically checked for compression. The drive unit can
read uncompressed data written by earlier-model drives.
• Complies with the SCSI-2 standard (ANSI SCSI-2 X3T9.2/86-109
REV.10C). Supports both the SCSI-2 sequential access device command set
and the media changer device command set.
• Read/Write operation is available with DDS-3, DDS-2, DDS and DDS-DC
format.
