Quantum Corp. (NYSE:QTM), the leading global specialist in backup, recovery and archive, today announced the integration of its DLT-S4 tape drive within the Scalar® iPlatform™ architecture ...

The new DLT-S4 tape cartridges from Quantum have a raw capacity of 800 Gbytes, which can be expanded to 1.6 Tbytes with compression. Data throughput for DLT-S4 drives is up to 60 Mbytes per second ...

The Quantum DLT-S4’s remarkable speed is still well behind the nominal 160MBps of the LTO-3, but customers might appreciate its large capacity, moderate cost, and powerful management features.

To further sweeten the DLT-S4 deal, Quantum is embedding the Dashboard of DLTSage, its tape-management application, into the device’s Windows drivers.
