The Dell PowerVault 110T DLT VS160 is a high-reliability, high-capacity linear streaming cartridge tape drive designed for use on entry to mid-range computing platforms. With a combination of data compression and compaction, the PowerVault 110T DLT VS160 tape drive offers a formatted cartridge capacity of 80 GB (160 GB assuming a 2:1 compression ratio) and a sustained user data transfer rate of 8 MBps (up to 16 MBps with 2:1 compression). It includes a four-channel read/write head, Lempel-Ziv (DLZ) high-efficiency hardware data compression, and tape-mark directory to achieve fast data throughput and data access times. The drive's reliability is also enhanced with its low power draw, simplified tape path design and reduced part count. The Dell PowerVault 110T DLT VS160 is read/write-compatible with the DLT VS160 format using DLTtape VS1 cartridges and read compatible with the DLT1 format using DLTtape IV cartridges. This product has been tested and validated on Dell systems to ensure it will work with your computer. It is supported by Dell Technical Support when used with a Dell system.
