IBM’s tradition of innovative tape technology continues by maximizing the capacity of the Cartridge System Tape with the IBM 3592 cartridge tapes. IBM’s robust 3592 tape cartridge offer 300 GB uncompressed capacity and when processed at a 3:1 ratio can offer up to 900 GB of compressed capacity offering an uncompressed transfer rate of 104MB per second.

he IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Tape Drive 3592 is designed to provide fast time to data and excellent levels of storage capacity. To support that high-capacity capability, the tape drive uses the IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Tape Cartridge 3592. The 3592 cartridge contains half-inch, advanced metal particle, dual-layer tape. This tape uses a high-quality coating that provides the signal and aerial density margin to store an extremely high capacity of data - up to 300GB (up to 900GB with 3: 1 compression), greatly exceeding the capacity available from most other tape media. The tape also features an ultra-smooth surface and uniform magnetic layer less than 0.2 microns thick - both intended to help improve media reliability and tape drive processing times. Because normal wear and tear can degrade media, the 3592 cartridge offers significant improvements in tape cartridge design - such as enhanced locking pin, hub and clutch assemblies - to help improve durability.
