The EXB-8500 and the EXB-8500c (shown below) are
high-capacity, high-performance, and highly reliable
streaming tape drives for PC, super-mini, and mainframe
computer systems. Packaged in a standard 5.25-inch
form-factor, the EXB-8500c and EXB-8500 are identical on
the outside except for the letter “c” on the EXB-8500c’s
front panel unload button.
The EXB-8500 provides up to 5.0 GBytes of data storage
capacity on a single, standard 112m EXATAPE™ 8mm
Data Cartridge. Using an average data compression ratio
of 2:1, the EXB-8500c can store up to 10.0 GBytes of data
on an 8mm data cartridge.
The tape drive incorporates a single-ended or differential
Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) controller and is
ideally suited for back-up and restore tasks, data
archiving, and data file interchange.
