Sony DDS-4 tape drive is the fastest and most reliable as compared to other drives. DDS4 Sony drive efficiently performs its functions with lesser consumption of energy. Sony has made significant technological advancements along with improved cooling and air flow mechanism. All DDS-4 tape drives developed by Sony feature an advantageous SAFE (Super Air Flow Environment) technology, which significantly reduces the dust contamination and cools down the components of tape drive. New special vents also have been introduced which efficiently draw cool air around the drive's components to lower down the drive temperatures during heavy workloads. High speed DDS-4 data tapes developed by other companies are:
59H4456, IBM DDS4 tape
09W083, Dell DDS4 tape
CDM40, Quantum DDS 4 tape
40963, Imation DDS-4 tape
C5718A, HP DDS 4 data tape
27505, TDK DDS-4 data tape
26047350, Fuji DDS-4 data tape
200028, Maxell DDS 4 tape
The storage medium of compact DDS-4 tape provides excellent resistance to reduce wear & tear. A new "super head cleaning" process has been designed by Sony, which helps to provide consistent performance and optimized output frequency by minimizing the harmful effects of accumulated dust particles and pollutants. Highly robust and high performance "hyper metal" tape head has been employed by Sony in DDS4 tape drives. The drive's durable read/write head strengthens the output frequency, ensures tape longevity and enhances the data reliability. Sony SDT-D11000PB drive's solution kit includes DGD15CL DDS cleaning cartridge, DGD150PWW DDS-4 backup tape, user manual, AC power-cord and terminator.
