QUANTUM M1500 FIRMWARE FREE DOWNLOAD

We tried a number of backup software products with the M Its built-in redundancy, supporting hot swap and hot plug for disk drives, fans and power supply qualify it as a true Enterprise level backup product. Additionally, we removed the external SCSI enclosure from our test platform, moving the data on its drives to other drives in the test system. A 5 is, in most cases, unattainable. Quantum ATL has not announced plans for other interfaces, but the potential for support of new standards has been built into the M The issues can be found in a feature article on the StorageWeek site.

Quantum|ATL M Review

I got varying results. The M has firmwafe our solid recommendation for companies looking for an industrial strength backup library. Excellent product, far exceeding requirements and expectations. Check here to start a new keyword search.

I tried backing up with the bare minimum of tasks running on the system. Retrospect, and some other software products, were already able to support the M4 Library, which had been available for about a year.

Robotics operated quickly and accurately.

The original M was designed to support one or two DLT drives. A clear window, through which you can see the robotics, drives and magazines, all bathed in a red light, can provide for endless entertainment when the TV goes on the blink. Problems with these drives ultimately required that their data be copied to the IDE array, or quqntum from backup tapes to the array.

As with Retrospect, it provided automatic support for the library.

It was able to quickly move tape from one slot to another smoothly and accurately. The capacities of these drives were 18, 18, 18 and 47 GB. The process of doing a full inventory of the library, which involved using the drive to read data from each cartridge, was limited by the speeds with which the drives could calibrate and read the new media. Native capacities for the Ultrium version of the M are 2. In general, few products will earn a 1 or a 5. The expandability of the systemallowing it to grow to become a library that can handle cartridges orin the case of the Ultrium versionprovide a considerable amount of growth potential that is available in few other products Overland Data Systems' Neo is also expandable.

Its predominantly black face, with judicious use of blue on the magazine door latches and around the control panel provide an attractive, industrial look.

During start-up, it reports on the various steps performed to calibrate the robot, inventory the magazines, formware calibrate the drives. It also allows the user to turn power to the drives on or off.

I tried different SCSI controllers. StackLink configurations are supported with currently up to storage slots or 10 units if it's configured to have no more than slots.

A 5 is, in most cases, unattainable. However, we are unaware of reports of reliability problems with either of these new drives.

With a native capacity of 40GB per cartridge, a single M library has a native capacity of GB. It was always able to grab cartridges when ejected from the drive, and was always able to load tapes into the drives without jams or other errors.

Because they are hot swappable, in the event of a drive failure, the failed drive can be easily swapped out. Features are missing or product is lacking value in this category.

Issues I faced during the course of the review are not further discussed in this review. Having the ability to parcel out backup tasks to as many as 20 drives in the library system may be something of an advantage over larger libraries with fewer drives, quanthm without the ability to address as many independent SCSI channels.

The system was running Windows Server. The native capacity of these drives is GB, giving a native capacity of 2.

I tried backing up drive arrays, assuming that I would get better performance from drives that had striped the data, and that were able to use multiple actuators to read the cirmware, maintaining higher speed data transfer. Although a bar code reader is an option available on some other sub cartridge devices, the reader is included as a standard feature in the M We still had more than GB of data to be backed up and restored, although it was on a significantly different set of firmwaree.
