E-4 StorageTek T10000 Tape Drive Operator’s Guide
Interfaces:
■ Types:
T10000A: 2 gigabit or 4 gigabit Fibre Channel and FICON
T10000B or C: 4 gigabit Fibre Channel and FICON
T10000D: 16 gigabit Fibre Channel, 16 gigabit FICON, and 10 gigabit Fibre
Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
Note: The 16 gigabit tape drive interfaces are compatible with 8
gigabit and 4 gigabit environments.
■ Data rate:
T10000A or B: 120 megabytes/second
T10000C: 252 megabytes/second (native sustained) and 240 megabytes/second
(full file host)
T10000D: 252 megabytes/second (native sustained)
Note: The actual data rate achieved is a function of the complete
system, including processor, disk data rate, data block size, data
compressibility, interface, I/O attachments, storage area network
(SAN), and software used. Although the drive has a native data
rate {252 megabytes/second (T10000C or D) or 120
megabytes/second (T10000A or B)}, other components may limit
the actual effective data rate.
Access times:
■ Tape load and thread to ready
T10000A or B: 16.5 seconds
T10000C: 13.1 seconds
T10000D: 13 seconds
■ File access, average (includes loading)
T10000A or B: 62.5 seconds (30.5 seconds for Sport Cartridge)
T10000C: 70.1 seconds (30.6 seconds for Sport Cartridge)
T10000D: 62.5 seconds (28 seconds for Sport Cartridge)
■ Rewind (maximum):
T10000A or B: 91 seconds (23 seconds for Sport Cartridge)
T10000C: 115 seconds (32.5 seconds for Sport Cartridge)
T10000D: 97 seconds (26 seconds for Sport Cartridge)
■ Unload time: 23 seconds
Reliability:
■ Head life: 5 years
■ Uncorrected bit error rate:1x10
