Description The Tandberg SLR100 offers 100GB (assumes 2:1 data compression) storage capacity and up to 36GB/hr (assumes 2:1 data compression) transfer rate. The soft-load mechanism prevents unauthorized access and allows integration into SLR automation products. The SLR100 incorporates the VR2 (Variable Rate Randomizer) technology developed by Overland Data, which significantly increases the native capacity and native data transfer rate performance of linear tape technologies without requiring any changes in tape path design, recording heads and/or media. The Tandberg SLR100 tape drive features a variable data transfer rate with "auto-sense" capabilities, which allows the tape drive to adjust itself to the host bus, yielding optimal system performance. This feature of drive intelligence is combined with in-line compression, enabling hardware compression before it enters the buffer, thereby freeing valuable storage capacity.
