Description

Key features

The IBM 7206 Model 336 External 36 GB Tape Drive incorporates technology that uses fifth generation (Gen 5) Digital Data Storage (DDS) tape media, also referred to as DAT72. The tape drive provides a media physical capacity of 36 GB (72 GB with 2:1 compression) per cartridge. It is designed to provide a data transfer rate of up to 3.0 MB/sec (6.0 MB/sec with 2:1 compression). In addition to reading and writing on DDS Gen 5 formatted tape cartridges, the 7206 Model 336 is also designed to read and write on DDS-4 and DDS-3 tape cartridges.

Benefits

Providing an excellent migration and interchange path from other 4mm tape drives, the 7206 Model 336 can be a cost-effective solution for your save, restore, and archiving functions. Specifically:

• The increased physical storage capacity of up to 72 GB (with 2:1 compression) is 1.8 times the capacity of the IBM 7206 Model 220, helping reduce the number of tape cartridges needed.
• The 7206 Model 336 can achieve the same data transfer rate as the Model 220.
• To increase the tape drive’s reliability, the 7206 Model 336 includes a media recongnition feature designed to help prevent non-data-grade tape cartridges from being used for writing data.
• The 7206 Model 336 tape drive features an enhanced mechanism that is designed to provide high interchange performance.

The IBM 7206 Model 336 External 36 GB DAT72 (DDS Gen5) Tape Drive is an externally attached 4mm tape drive for System i and System p servers. It is designed to allow data compression (2:1) for an effective physical storage capacity of up to 72 GB and a data transfer rate of up to 6.0 MB/sec (depending on the characteristics of the data transferred). With up to 1.8 times the capacity over the previous 7206 Model 220, the 7206 Model 336 can help enhance user productivity. The 7206 Model 336 is designed to provide a more cost effective solution for save, restore, and archiving functions than previous IBM models.

Note: Although the 7206 Model 336 tape drive is designed to give you high tape performance, other components of your system may limit the actual performance achieved. In addition, the compression technology used in the tape drive is designed to double the amount of data that can be stored on the media; however, the actual degree of compression achieved is highly sensitive to the characteristics of the data that is being compressed.

Back to top

The IBM 7206 Model 336 External 36 GB Tape Drive is a good solution for customers with System i and System p servers who use 4mm DDS tape technology and require a larger capacity tape backup. The Model 336 is an excellent save and restore device when your requirements exceed older 4mm and 1/4-inch tape drive capacity, but you do not require the higher capacity, higher priced 8mm or 1/2-inch tape drives.

The 7206 Model 336 can read and write DDS-4 and DDS-3 tape data cartridges. Because of its read and write compatibility with earlier 4mm tape formats, the 7206 Model 336 is a natural replacement for older 7206 4mm tape drives.

If you need to back up larger amounts of data, or need a higher performance tape drive, consider the following:

• IBM 7208 Model 345 8mm Tape Drive
• IBM 7206 Model VX2 Tape Drive
• IBM 7206 Model VX2 Tape Drive
• IBM 3580 LTO Ultrium Tape Drive
• IBM 3581 LTO Ultrium Tape Autoloader
• IBM 3584 UltraScalable LTO Tape Library

Technical description

Physical specifications	Operating environment	Limitations
Hardware requirements	Software requirements

The 7206 Model 336 is an external 36 GB 4mm tape drive for Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) attachment to System i and System p servers. It contains data compression capability which provides an effective capacity of up to 72 GB physical storage capacity (with compression) and a sustained data transfer rate of up to 3.0 MB per second, depending on the characteristics of the data transferred. This is twice the capacity and a higher data rate over the prior 7206 Model 220. It provides a larger capacity and higher data rate than a number of other externally attached 1/4-inch tape drives and is designed for save and restore and archiving functions.
