TOP The HardTape system has a wide range of options providing unparalleled access to your data. Standard cables and bays cover the most common interfaces, custom solutions are available for almost any current interface, and we are working diligently to provide connectivity through all of the interfaces under development.
Back to the Top HardTape cartridge capacity is expressed in decimal Gigabytes. Operating systems typically report capacity in binary Gigabytes. In video recording applications a more useful measure of capacity is recording time, which is dependent upon the recording format. The table below provides both decimal and binary capacities as well as the recording time for some common formats. A more detailed explanation of cartridge capacity can by found in FAQ Capacity (click here).
There are endless ways to describe the speed (data transfer rate) of a storage device. Most people using HardTape are transferring very large media files to and from the cartridge and therefore the most relevant measurement of speed is the sustained read/write transfer rate. The table below summarizes the maximum sustained R/W data transfer rate for each of the cartridge models. A more detailed discussion of bits vs. bytes; read vs. write; sustained vs. burst; max and min vs. average can be found in FAQ Speed (click here).
The method of connecting the cartridge to your system will also have an influence on the data transfer rate performance. The table below summarizes the maximum measured data transfer rates for each of the HardTape interface cables and bays. For more information about these rates vs. the often quoted "spec" transfer rates please refer to FAQ Speed (click here).
