IBM AGKM LTO8 Fiber Channel Tape Drive Half-High 00GH812
IBM AGKM is a LTO8 8Gb Fiber Channel HH Tape Drive, has 00GH812 part number and can be installed in an IBM TS4300 Tape Library Model 3555. The IBM AGKM LTO8 Fiber Channel Tape Drive Half-High Cables are not included and must be ordered separately and are required to attach the TS4300 IBM LTO Tape Library to a host Fiber Channel adapter. The IBM LTO8 Tape Drive is a high-performance, high-capacity tape storage backup and restore device for IBM i, AIX, Linux Power Servers and other open system platforms. IBM Ultrium8 or LTO8 tape cartridge can store up to 6 TB of uncompressed data or up to 15 TB of compressed data assuming a 2.5 to 1 compression ratio.
IBM LTO8 half-high tape drives connects with a 8Gb Fiber Channel interface and has a maximum 300 MB per second native transfer rate and will auto-negotiate to lower speeds. The IBM AGKM LTO8 Fiber Channel Half-High Tape Drive with 00GH812 part number can also be purchased in a full height format as IBM AGKP LTO8 Fibre Channel FH Tape Drive with 00GH814 part number has two 8 Gb ports and a 360 MB per second maximum native data transfer rate. The IBM AGKN LTO8 SAS Tape Drive Half-High with part number 00GH810 has a 300 MB per second maximum transfer rate.
Note: The actual capacity varies depending on the application, the type of data, and the tape cartridge. 6 TB is typical and 15 TB is possible when the Data Compression setting is activated. The default setting of Data Compression is controlled by the host system. The user and the application software can control the activation or deactivation of the data compression setting. The drive can typically achieve a 2.5:1 compression ratio.

The actual capacity varies depending on the application, the type of data, and the tape cartridge. 2.5 TB is typical and 6.25 TB is possible when the Data Compression setting is activated. LTO data transfer rates are also greatly improved when using compression. The default setting of Data Compression is controlled by the host system. The user and the application software can control the activation or deactivation of the data compression setting. The drive can typically achieve a 2.5:1 compression ratio.
