Reliable and Efficient
The IBM 3490-F01 is designed to provide outstanding tape subsystem performance, high cartridge capacity, high reliability, and operational efficiency while allowing for remote tape operations.
High Capacity
Using a 36-track head while reading or writing 18 tracks bi-directionally, the 3490E-F01 doubles the capacity of a base IBM Cartridge System Tape and virtually eliminates rewind time for a full cartridge.
Speedy Data Transfer
Using the Improved Data Recording Capability (IDRC) and a SCSI interface, effective data throughput can be as high as 6.8 MB/sec. The SCSI-2 attachment gives users the potential for higher effective throughput than what is currently provided by parallel channel attachment.
Enhanced Reliability
Major design enhancements for the 3490E F Models improve mechanical and data reliability. Tape path enhancements, advanced electronic packaging and circuit technology, along with enhanced control unit error recovery procedures, help make the 3490E F Models extremely reliable tape subsystems for the S/390, SP, AS/400, and RS/6000.
