WangDat 3900 Specification

Target Market Overview

Specifically, it targets users in the mid-range to large departmental and application server arena, storing up to 24 Gbytes compressed capacity on a single cartridge. With 2.4 Mbytes/sec. transfer rate, enhanced reliability of the Hyper Metal Head technology and built-in self activated head cleaner, this drive is ideally suited for mid-range systems, network servers and high-end workstations.

The high capacity, reliability and fastest data transfer rates in the industry gives DDS-3 all the necessary requirements for users in the high-end server environment to successfully meet their needs to back up more data less time at an attractive price.

WangDAT 3900 DDS-3 Positioning

The WangDAT 3900 DDS-3, based on the industry standard DDS-3 format, has the fastest transfer rates, triple the capacity and twice the speed of any DDS-2 technology. High performance and reliability makes the WangDAT 3900 a viable cost effective alternative to 8mm and DLT tape drives.

 

Key Selling Features

  • DDS-3 format
  • Fastest data transfer rates with 2.4 Mbytes/sec. compressed
  • Triple the capacity of DDS-2 with 24 Gbytes compressed capacity, 12 Gbytes native
  • Enhanced reliability for system uptime with the implementation of the Hyper Metal Head technology and built-in head cleaner
  • Faster backup and restore times (twice the speed of DDS-2) with 144 Mbytes/min. compressed backup speed
  • Fully backward read and write compatible to all industry standard DDS-1, DDS-2 and DDS-3 drives
  • Lower cost of ownership versus 8mm and DLT technology
  • Smaller 3.5-inch form factor vs. 5.25-inch half-height 8mm and 5.25-inch full-height DLT
