The product is an internal VXA2 streamer by Exabyte, finished in black. It is a new device that was stored as a replacement unit under maintenance contracts during the warranty period, but was never put into operation. The device is offered without manufacturer's warranty, but with a 30-day acceptance guarantee. It is designed for use in server or storage systems requiring an internal tape backup solution using VXA-2 technology.

Streamer

The streamer is an internal drive type installed into a computer or server system frame. It serves for data backup and archiving using magnetic tapes in VXA-2 format. This technology enables high data density and is suitable for use in medium to large enterprises relying on reliable backup solutions.

VXA-2 Technology

VXA-2 technology is a standard for magnetic storage tapes, enabling high data transfer rates and large storage capacity. The device is specifically designed for VXA-2 tapes, which typically offer a capacity of up to 20 GB (uncompressed) or more, depending on tape type. VXA-2 technology is particularly used in environments requiring high reliability and high data throughput.

Internal Drive

As an internal drive, the device is designed for installation inside a computer or server housing. It features an IDE interface, enabling direct connection to the system bus. The IDE interface is a standard for internal storage devices and ensures compatible integration into existing systems equipped with the corresponding interface.

Bare-Unit

The device is delivered as a bare unit, meaning it is supplied without additional components such as housing, cables, or software. It consists solely of the drive itself, which must be integrated into an existing system. Installation requires physical mounting in the housing and cabling via the IDE interface.

Applications

The streamer is suitable for companies and IT departments requiring a reliable, internal backup solution. It is commonly used in server environments to secure data, especially in combination with backup software that automates data protection. VXA-2 technology offers a good balance between storage capacity and speed, making it suitable for medium-sized data volumes.

Compatibility and Accessories

It requires an IDE interface in the host system to operate. Installation is performed by mounting the drive into a suitable housing and connecting it to the system's IDE interface.

Mounting and Installation

Mounting is done by installing the drive into a standard 5.25-inch or 3.5-inch system housing, depending on the form factor. Cabling is done via the IDE interface, with power supplied through the system power supply. Installation requires basic knowledge of handling internal computer components. Software configuration is performed via the operating system and the used backup software.
