4490 Cartridge Subsystem— Cartridge tape
transports that provide read/write capability for
36-track recording format and extended capacity
tape. 4490 transports can also read data recorded in
18-track format. The StorageTek 4490 Cartridge
Subsystem is equivalent to a 3490E device.
8500 library— See StreamLine (SL8500) library.
9310 LSM— See PowderHorn LSM.
9360 LSM— See WolfCreek LSM.
9490 Cartridge Subsystem— Cartridge tape
transports that provide read/write capability for
36-track recording format and extended capacity tape
and provide improved performance over the 4490
Cartridge Subsystem. 9490 transports can also read
data recorded in 18-track format. The StorageTek
9490 Cartridge Subsystem offers better performance
(faster data transfer rate, faster load/unload) than a
3490E device.
9490EE Cartridge Subsystem— A
high-performance tape transport that provides
read/write capability for Extended Enhanced tape
(EETape) cartridges. It is functionally equivalent to
the IBM 3490E device.
9740 LSM— See TimberWolf LSM.
9840 Cartridge Subsystem— A high performance
tape transport for enterprise and open systems
environments that reads and writes 9840 cartridges.
9840s can be defined in 10-drive and 20-drive panel
configurations. The 9840 can perform as a
standalone subsystem with a cartridge scratch loader
attached, or it can be attached to a StorageTek ACS.
T9840B—The StorageTek cartridge transport that
reads and writes T9840B cartridges.
T9840C— The StorageTek cartridge transport that
reads and writes T9840C cartridges.
T9940A— The StorageTek capacity-centric
cartridge transport capable of reading and writing
60GB T9940A cartridges.
T9940B— The StorageTek capacity-centric cartridge
transport capable of reading and writing 200GB
T9940B cartridges.
