HP StorageWorks DAT drives are based on the Digital Data Storage (DDS) format. In fact, DAT is the most successful tape

backup technology of all time with more than 17 million DAT drives shipped since its introduction in 1989, and with a current

world-wide installed base of over 6 million drives. A number of vendors manufacture DDS format DAT drives, but HP has

long been the market leader in DAT technology.

This remarkable tape technology continues to flourish because of its ability to meet the needs of the Small and Medium

Business (SMB) market for reliable, cost-effective backup better than any other technology available.

The HP StorageWorks family of DAT drives is the first choice for data protection for many small and medium businesses

with low-end and mid-range servers and workstations. HP StorageWorks DAT drives are also frequently used for operating

system backup and software loading on mission-critical servers in many large enterprises.

HP StorageWorks DAT drives are available with a range of capacities (from 40GB to 160GB) and a choice of interfaces.

Customers can benefit from native USB 2.0 for plug-and-play installation: from out of the box to backup in less than 60

seconds. Other interface choices include SCSI for servers requiring SCSI connectivity and the recent addition of a SAS

interface now provides the very latest server connectivity.

Each member of the HP StorageWorks DAT family offers a complete backup solution including HP's unique One-Button-

Disaster-Recovery (OBDR) feature providing customers with the ability to restore their systems quickly and effortlessly with

the touch of a single button. HP's unique Library and Tape Tools (L&TT) utilities provide HP StorageWorks DAT customers

with a comprehensive suite of tape drive management utilities and HP's extensive testing program ensures that customers

benefit from the broadest connectivity and compatibility with HP and third-party servers, operating systems and software in

the industry.

Also includes HP Data Protector Express Single Server Edition software and its Bare Metal Disaster Recovery option,

providing a backup application to protect a single Windows, Linux or NetWare server.
