Tandberg Data 112.00558 VXA-2 drive black (internal, IDE, bare) content_copy

This product is an internal VXA2 streamer drive by Tandberg Data, finished in black. It is a new device that was held in stock as a replacement unit under maintenance contracts, but was not operated during the warranty period. Therefore, the device is unused and has not been deployed, although the manufacturer's warranty is no longer valid. Instead, a 30-day acceptance guarantee is offered.

Streamer drive for data backup and archiving in IT systems, particularly in environments that rely on magnetic tape technology for data storage. VXA2 is a tape format technology designed for high storage densities and fast access times. These drives are typically integrated into server or storage systems to securely archive large volumes of data.

Application areas include primarily data backup in medium and large IT infrastructures where reliable, long-term data storage is required. VXA2 streamers are capable of storing data in a compact format, with tape technology enabling high storage density. The internal drives are directly installed into computer enclosures or server racks, allowing integration into existing systems.

Functions and equipment in detail include support for the VXA2 tape format, developed for data storage on magnetic tapes. The device is designed for internal use, meaning it is installed into a computer enclosure or rack system. The interface is IDE, enabling connection to the host system via the conventional IDE interface. The drive is supplied as a bare unit, meaning it is delivered without additional housing or mounting components and must be directly integrated into a suitable system.

Technology explained simply shows that VXA2 is a tape technology based on the use of magnetic tapes to store data. Data is recorded on the tape in digital form, with VXA2 technology enabling high storage density and fast access times. The IDE interface ensures communication with the host system, with data transfer occurring via the standard IDE protocol. The device is designed for internal use, requiring direct mounting into a computer enclosure or rack.

Compatibility and accessories refer to use with VXA2 tapes, specifically developed for this tape format. Compatibility is limited to systems equipped with an IDE interface and supporting VXA2 technology. Use requires integration into a suitable system with the necessary interfaces and mounting options.

Mounting and installation is performed by installing the drive into a computer enclosure or rack system, with physical mounting adapted to the respective system design. Installation requires connection via the IDE interface and physical securing within the system.

Advantages in operation include high storage density and the reliability of tape technology. VXA2 streamers enable the storage of large data volumes on compact tapes, with data capable of long-term archiving. The use of IDE as an interface ensures compatibility with existing systems. The device is unused and has not been deployed, indicating high reliability and functionality.
