About DAStape

®

The DAStape provides an interconnection that is easy to install, configure, and use. It
was designed specifically for the needs of direct-attached storage (DAS). The DAStape
100 and DAStape 200 support only single-ended or LVD SCSI tape drives.

Note:

Neither DAStape 100 nor DAStape 200 will support high-voltage
differential (HVD) tape drives.

The DAStape 100 supports a single Sony AIT-2 drive or Sony AIT-3 drive, and the
DAStape 200 supports a single Quantum SDLT 320 or IBM LTO-2 tape drive.
