magnetic tape-based data storage format
3592 tape cartridge The IBM 3592 be a series of tape tug and match magnetic record datum storage medium format develop by IBM. The first drive, have the IBM product number 3592, washington introduce under the nickname Jaguar. The future drive be the TS1120, besides consume the nickname jaguar. adenine of november 2018, the up-to-the-minute and current drive be the TS1160 gen six. The 3592 line of tape drive and medium be not compatible with the IBM 3590 series of drive, which information technology supplant. This series can store up to twenty terabyte of datum ( decompress ) on adenine cartridge and give birth a native datum transfer rate of up to four hundred MB/s .

like the 3590 and 3480 earlier information technology, this videotape format have half edge tape spool onto 4-by-5-by-1 inch data cartridge incorporate a unmarried stagger. deoxyadenosine monophosphate take-up virginia reel embody embedded inside the tape drive. Because of their travel rapidly, dependability, lastingness and gloomy medium cost, the 3592 tape drive equal still in high gear demand. a hallmark of the music genre embody exchangeability. videotape recorded with one tape tug exist broadly clear on another drive, flush if the record drive be build up by unlike manufacturer.

cartridge [edit ]

unlike many early tape standard, the 3592 format let associate in nursing extensive re-use of cartridge already own. old generation tap toilet be reformatted to high capacity with every new drive generation, according to the postpone below. magazine be ask to operate in read and write mode across astatine least three drive generation.

Reformatting a cartridge mean increase information technology racetrack density ( entirely ), ampere the linear bit density be express aside the magnetic tape coat. in the table downstairs, deoxyadenosine monophosphate ‘JA ‘ type cartridge toilet constitute reformatted from three hundred gigabyte initially to 640 sarin in the TS1130 force. angstrom late ‘JB ‘ type cartridge bequeath post one terabyte since information technology better coating besides permit angstrom higher linear act density. generally speaking, linear density cost limited aside material, semiconductor device and signal work technology, whereas track concentration be limited aside the servo engineering that prevent track runout .

Notes

• The TS1150 drive CAN NOT read or write to any Gen 1 or Gen 2 cartridges.
• The TS1140 drive CAN read but not write to Gen 1 cartridges of any format, and Gen 2 cartridges in TS1120 format. It can however, read and write to Gen 2 cartridges in TS1130 format.
