TS1150 Technology vs Competing Drive Types

Reliability of Storage Medium

Medium Hard Error Rate

Tape

TS1150 1 x 10E20 bits

Disk

FC / SAS 1 x 10E16 bits

SATA (Enterprise) 1 x 10E15 bits

SATA (Desktop) 1 x 10E14 bits

Source: Published industry statistics

• What do those statistics look like on a graph?

Reliability- Orders of Magnitude Greater

On average… for a million tape drives and disk drives running continuously…

You get one undetectable tape bit error once every five times the age of the earth…

In comparison to 1,577 undetected bad sectors EVERY YEAR with disk

With Tape’s Undetected Error Rate of 1.6 x 1033

How can we use abigger, faster, reliable tape?
