Manual of product LTO-2
Editorial note
The Quantum LTO-2 stands out for its solid performance and flexible storage capacity, reaching up to 400 GB with compression. With a peak transfer rate of 160 MB/s, it ensures fast data transmission, which is essential for users with significant storage needs. Its durability is also a major asset, benefiting from a lifespan of 5000 passes and a mean time between failures of 250000 hours, making it a reliable choice for demanding work environments. However, the product has some drawbacks. The sustained transfer rate of 26 MB/s may seem relatively slow for users looking for higher speeds. Additionally, the native storage capacity of 160 GB may be insufficient for some, potentially leading to extra costs to acquire multiple cartridges. The lack of internal elements also limits integration flexibility into more complex systems. In terms of design, although functional, the weight of 1500 g may make the Quantum LTO-2 less portable, which could pose a problem in environments where mobility is essential. Finally, the access time of 860 ms may affect responsiveness during tasks requiring quick access to data. In summary, the Quantum LTO-2 offers good value for money, with notable advantages in terms of robustness and data management optimization, while having some limitations that should be considered before purchase.Score details
