[. . . ] Imation SLR TM TAPE CARTRIDGES Scalable Linear Recording solution for high-end workstations and small to mid-range servers PREPARE FOR YOUR FUTURE DATA STORAGE NEEDS TODAY Imation SLRTM Tape Cartridges ­ Capacity to provide a complete solution SLR tape cartridges combine unmatched scalability and reliability with Imation's 50 years of media development and manufacturing expertise. With ongoing access to data becoming increasingly important to business success, the need for data storage is exploding. You will be if you make Imation SLR tape cartridges part of your data storage plan. [. . . ] It provides up to 75GB compressed (38GB uncompressed) capacity and a 4MB/second transfer rate. The SLR140 cartridge provides 140GB compressed capacity with 6MB/second transfer rate. faster than ever. By eliminating the time-consuming verify pass, Imation SLR media's read-while-write capability cuts backup time in half. Together with the SLR drive's built-in data compression capabilities, SLR technology has data transfer rates of up to 12MB/second. That jumps to 40MB/second or more when used with an automated tape library system-- saving you resources and time.
