SEAGATE STD2401LW-S SCORPION 40

Scorpion 
The Scorpion 40 DDS-4 DAT is the most reliable DDS drive with an MTBF rating of 483,000 hours at 12% duty cycle. The Scorpion 40 stores up to 40GB (2:1 compression) of data per cartridge. With its Ultra2 SCSI LVD interface, the Scorpion 40 tranfers data at speeds up to 5.5 MB per second or 19.8 GB per hour greatly decreasing the time needed to back up your data.
Features Benefits
Up to 40 GB capacity per cartridge Superior backup capabilities for workstations and servers.
330 Megabytes/minute backup rate Faster system backup
LVD (low voltage differential) Supports 15 devices up to a total cable length of 20 meters
Environmentally Sealed Head-to-Tape Interface Chamber Increases reliability by decreasing the volume of contaminants.
Sapphire Media Cleaning Blade Decreases media based contaminants.
Automated head and capstan cleaning Increases reliability
Diagnostic utility Proper installation/operation confirmation
Works with leading backup software Choice of the best software for your application
Seagate's REACT program Rapid Replacement Program
5.25-inch half-height drive, adaptable to 3.5-inch drive bay Maximum installation flexibility
