Every company wants to have a backup storage system that is not only safe but also cheap and reliable. There are many devices in the market that will fall under the category of safe, or reliable or cheap but unfortunately there are not many devices which will fall under all these categories at the same time. This is a hindrance for the medium and small scale companies who do not have enough money and resources to buy the expensive devices that would not last for even a couple of years.

If a small or medium scale company really wants to buy a backup storage system that is reliable, safe and cheap then their only choice is tape storage devices. This is not a new technology; in fact they are as old as the computers. There are many companies that are making these devices and the good thing is that all the big companies like HP are making some of the best devices in the market. These devices are very cheap, as compared to the other devices in the market. Also the tape devices are compatible with almost every kind of operating system; you just need to install the software given in the box.

The HP LTO-2 tape drive is ...
... considered to be one of the best. It is a high capacity and efficient device that will stay with you for a very long time. It has thirty years of archival life and it comes with one year warranty for the parts and one year warranty for the labor. It comes in both the external and internal models; however, the external model is more popular. It supports only one cartridge at a time but these cartridges are removable. Also you can use any cartridge, it is not necessary that you use only HP cartridge.

The storage capacity of the HP LTO-2 tape device is good enough for the small and medium scale companies. Users are provided 200 gigabytes of capacity for backing up raw data. However, many companies like to store their data in the compressed form and if you are one of those companies then you will have higher storage capacity. 400 gigabytes of data can be accommodated after compressing the files. Along with that you will have sixty four megabytes of buffer memory. This will ensure that the performance of your device is impeccable.

The HP LTO-2 tape device also has an amazing data transfer rate. It is an acknowledged fact that the native data is transferred at a slower rate than the compressed data. Your native data will be transferred at the rate of forty megabytes per second. The compressed data will be transferred at the rate of eighty megabytes per second. The company says that you will be able to transfer one hundred and seventy three gigabytes in every hour. So in this way you will be able to transfer your whole data in a matter of two or three hours. You will be able to save both time and money, isn’t that what everyone wants?
