About your Travan Tape Drive

The TapeStor 8GB attaches to your SCSI or ATAPI host

adapter.The drive uses software data compression to

store up to 8 Gbytes on a single Travan TR-4 cartridge.

This drive can read from and write to tapes support-

ing the QIC-3095 and QIC-3080 standards. It can read

previously written tapes in the QIC-80, QIC-3020, and

QIC-3010 formats.

In an optimally configured system, the TapeStor 8GB

can transfer data at up to 60 Mbytes/minute with 2:1

data compression. Uncompressed data-transfer rates

range from 18 to 30 Mbytes/min for the ATAPI drive

and up to 36 Mbytes/min for the SCSI drive.

This drive uses Seagate FastSense(TM) technology for

enhanced performance. FastSense allows the drive to

switch to the fastest data-transfer rate supported by

your computer system.

The drive is designed to be mounted inside a com-

puter, in a 3.5-inch or (with the included mounting

brackets) 5.25-inch drive bay.
