About Travan NS tape drives
The Seagate Travan NS 8GB and 20GB drives incorpo-
rate the following advanced features:
Hardware Data Compression (HDC)—HDC is much
more efficient than software data compression,
reducing CPU utilization by up to 15%. Travan NS drives
use IBM’s Adaptive Lossless Data Compression, one of
the most efficient data-compression algorithms
available.
Read While Write (RWW)—With RWW data verification,
each block of data is verified as it is written onto the
tape, so the drive does not need to make a separate
verification pass. This can reduce backup times by up to
50%.
