The HP SureStore DAT40 addresses the evolving backup needs of an exceptionally wide range of organizations and networks with a groundbreaking combination of speed and reliability that is highly cost-effective to run. With the ability to transfer 40 GB in under two hours, no other DDS-4 product can beat it for speed - ensuring the HP SureStore DAT40 stays ahead of fast-growing applications, documents and hard disks. That's good news for existing DDS users and anyone frustrated by the cost or limitations of their current technology. You can invest in the HP SureStore DAT40 with complete confidence - it is compatible with previous DDS formats, and the next generation is already in development. Nothing restores your system more effectively than HP One-Button Disaster Recovery. It does what it says. The HP SureStore DAT40 will restore systems fast - without the need to reload applications from separate disks or make new recovery disks every time you add an application or a peripheral to the network. A series of important technical developments make it the most reliable DAT drive yet. HP's patented Advance Sequence Detector increases data integrity by as much as ten times. Optimum read/write performance and data interchange is maintained over the long-term by Real Time Adaptive Filtering, which compensates for drive wear. Improved tape path cleaning means less reliance on user maintenance, and TapeAlert continually monitors backup status.
