Overview  
HP StorageWorks DAT Drives  
HP StorageWorks DAT drives are based on the Digital Data Storage (DDS) format. In fact, DAT is the most successful tape backup  
technology of all time with more than 17 million DAT drives shipped since its introduction in 1989, and with a current world-wide  
installed base of over 9 million drives. A number of vendors manufacture DDS format DAT drives, but HP has long been the market  
leader in DAT technology.  
This remarkable tape technology continues to flourish because of its ability to meet the needs of the Small and Medium Business  
(SMB) market for reliable, cost-effective backup better than any other technology available.  
The HP StorageWorks family of DAT drives is the first choice for data protection for many small and medium businesses with low-end  
and mid-range servers and workstations. HP StorageWorks DAT drives are also frequently used for operating system backup and  
software loading on mission-critical servers in many large enterprises.  
HP StorageWorks DAT drives are available with a range of capacities (from 24 GB to 72 GB) and a choice of interfaces. Customers  
can benefit from native USB 2.0 for plug-and-play installation: from out of the box to backup in less than 60 seconds. SCSI  
interfaces are also available for servers requiring SCSI connectivity.  
Each member of the HP StorageWorks DAT family offers a complete backup solution including HP's unique One-Button-Disaster-  
Recovery (OBDR) feature providing customers with the ability to restore their systems quickly and effortlessly with the touch of a  
single button. The solutions also include HP StorageWorks Data Protector Express Single Server Edition backup/recovery software  
and the HP StorageWorks Data Protector Express Bare Metal Disaster Recovery option. Data Protector Express Single Server Edition  
is an easy-to-use backup application to protect a single Windows, Linux or NetWare server. HP's unique Library and Tape Tools  
(L&TT) utilities provide HP StorageWorks DAT customers with a comprehensive suite of tape drive management utilities and HP's

DDS Technology  
Within the tape market there is a wide range of tape technologies, the question for SMB customers is  
which one to choose. The answer is clear - DDS/DAT continues to be the unit volume leader in the tape  
drive market for small and medium businesses with a current installed base of over 6 million and over  
15 million DAT drives shipped since its introduction in 1989. This remarkable tape technology continues  
to flourish because it meets the needs of the SMB market for cost-effective, reliable backup better than  
any other technology available. Of the 3.5 million backup tape drives shipped in 2003, Gartner  
Dataquest estimates that approximately 50% were DAT drives.  
Unlike AIT, VXA, ADR, SLR, DLT and SDLT, DDS/DAT is based on an open standard format for data  
interchange. The influential DAT manufacturers group presides over this open standard with verification  
processes that ensure compliance. With multiple manufacturers developing and shipping DDS/DAT  
products, customers benefit from increased competition, which leads to better prices, faster development  
and more choice.  
DDS format for DAT is a helical scan format where data is written diagonally across the width of the  
tape. The advantage is that, by allowing subsequent tracks to have different writing angles and to  
overlap, a much greater capacity can be achieved for a given length of tape because no guard bands  
are necessary. The data format also allows for fast location of tracks and data. To achieve this, the  
rotating drum is tilted at a slight angle (6°) from the vertical. The drum has four heads (two write heads  
and two read heads), located at 90° intervals. For each rotation of the drum, two tracks are written. The  
read heads verify the data that has been written (recorded) and the drive rewrites if necessary. The  
straightness with which the track is written to tape is referred to as the linearity of the track and is critical  
in ensuring the data is always recoverable.  
HP has been involved in the design and development of DDS drives since the beginning and applies  
these many years of experience to its current line of DDS products. Not only does an investment in DDS  
technology provide the security of a format with a history of outstanding reliability, the legacy of  
backward compatibility also provides the potential for future expansion without compromising your  
investment in the technology.  
The target market for DDS/DAT continues to be direct-attach backup. In small and medium sized  
businesses cost of ownership, ease of use and a proven history (i.e. low risk) are paramount. DDS  
technology provides the capacity and performance needed in a tape backup solution for workstations  
and entry-level servers.

Proven Reliability  
HP DDS drives have proven to be exceptionally reliable backup devices. Hardware reliability is typically  
measured by MTBF (mean time between failures) quoted in a number of hours at a particular duty cycle.  
Duty cycle is a measure of average usage per day. For example, a 12% duty cycle means the device is  
used an average of 3 hours per day, whereas a 100% duty cycle means that it is used 24 hours per day.  
A drive's predicted MTBF is calculated from a series of tests done on a large population of drives both  
before and after product launch.  
HP's ongoing reliability improvements have recently resulted in an increase in reliability specifications for  
HP DAT drives based on real field data. By completing an analysis of actual MTBF using the years of  
data captured about HP DAT products, HP discovered that our DDS-4 and DAT 72 tape drives deliver  
even better reliability than was initially predicted and documented in our specifications.  
The DAT QuickSpecs have now been revised to reflect the new figures:  
The old specifications were:  
MTBF: 400,000 hours at a 12% duty cycle  
-15  
Unrecoverable error rate: 1 bit in 10  
The new specifications are:  
MTBF: 125,000 hours at a 100% duty cycle or 1 million hours at a 12% duty cycle  
-17  
Unrecoverable error rate: 1 bit in 10  
DAT's MTBF is now typically expressed with a 100% duty cycle to make it simpler to compare to other  
tape formats; for example, HP's enterprise-level LTO Ultrium drives have an MTBF of 250,000 hours at a  
100% duty cycle. In practice, however, unlike Ultrium drives (used 24x7 as the most popular choice for  
large tape libraries), few DAT drives would ever be used 24 hours a day. Using a 12% duty cycle that we  
believe is more typical for a DAT drive, the figure becomes an impressive 1 million hours at a 12% duty  
cycle.  
Automated Head  
Cleaning/Intelligent  
cleaning  
HP DDS drives benefit from an automatic head cleaning "sweeper" that can be used during the write or  
read recovery procedure to dislodge debris from the tape path and recording heads and drive. This  
feature reduces the need to use a DDS cleaning cartridge for manual cleaning.  
Intelligent cleaning determines the cleaning provided by a cleaning cartridge when loaded by monitoring  
the drive performance when in use. If the drive is performing well, a routine maintenance clean is  
performed. If the drive has degraded performance the cleaning is automatically made more robust to  
recover the drive to optimum performance.

USB 2.0 Interface  
HP DAT drives are available with a choice of interfaces: the standard SCSI interface where SCSI  
connectivity is required and the newly introduced USB 2.0 interface.  
The USB (Universal Systems Bus) interface was conceived out of a need to simplify computer peripheral  
device connection. It has been so successful that the majority of computer systems and servers shipped  
today offer multiple native USB 2.0 ports.  
HP is the first company to develop a native USB DDS/DAT tape drive. Where other "USB tape drives" rely  
on a USB converter, HP's USB interface is fully integrated with the drive and uses the SCSI command set  
within the USB payload. The benefit of this implementation is that it gives the drive full SCSI functionality  
and the flexibility of USB without the additional cost of a converter.  
By offering native USB 2.0 DAT drives, HP aims to provide customers with a number of benefits:  
Greater usability  
Plug-and-play connectivity- the system automatically detects and configures the tape drive.  
The DAT drive is installed and ready to backup in less than 60 seconds.  
Microsoft fully supports USB devices natively in their operating systems providing robust,  
secure configuration and installation wizards.  
Cables are easily identifiable, easy to attach without the need for thumb-screw and robust  
enough to ensure reliable retention.  
Resource abundance  
Native USB ports are universally available in systems and servers  
Multiple ports ensure that port resources are widely available, reducing the conflict between  
devices over scarce connectors.  
Port expansion is easy, USB hubs can be installed to add additional ports supporting up to  
127 devices on a system  
Low cost, reliable connectivity  
By providing native USB DDS/DAT drives there is no need for customers to purchase  
additional host-bus adapters  
HP's USB 2.0 implementation benefits from the built-in reliability and failure recovery  
inherent in the underlying SCSI protocol  
USB 2.0 has multiple levels of physical error detection and recovery which ensure reliability  
on a par with SCSI and Fibre-channel interfaces.  
USB 2.0 compliance certification provides thorough, ongoing reliability and quality control.  
A well implemented USB network should use only USB 2.0 compliant components,  
including USB 2.0 certified cables.  
Sustainable performance  
In HP tests it has been shown that USB 2.0 can sustain the performance of an HP DDS/DAT  
drive at around 30MB/sec, a bandwidth that would sustain the HP DAT 72 drive operating  
with a compression ratio of 9:1!  
USB 2.0 performance provides sufficient bandwidth to support all future generations of  
DDS/DAT drives specified on the DAT Manufacturers Group Roadmap  
Compression  
DDS uses built-in hardware compression using the 'DCLZ' data compression algorithm. Data  
compression is host-selectable with the default that compression is turned on. Typical data compression  
is 2:1, but actual compression depends on the type of data being compressed and can be more or less  
than 2:1.

SCSI Hot-Plug and  
Offline Hot-Swap  
Technology  
NOTE: this feature is available for SCSI products. USB variants of HP DAT drives already benefit from  
hot-plug capability through the USB 2.0 interface.  
                                                  
                                                     
                                                      
                                                        
The HP StorageWorks DAT SCSI drives come in two variants that increase your uptime: hot-plug and  
offline hot-swap. With these configurations, you never have to take down your system to replace a failed  
or non-responding tape device.  
Hot-plug tape drives are supported on all HP ProLiant and AlphaServers that have the universal drive  
bay built in to the server. These drives can be inserted or removed without disassembling the server, thus  
enabling the system to be operational 24x7. This configuration also provides the ability to mix tape  
drives and 1" hot-plug hard drives on the same SCSI bus without slowing down the performance of the  
system (supported on the HP Smart Array 5300 controller family and integrated Smart Array controller  
and selected HP AlphaServer host bus adapters).  
The HP StorageWorks Tape Array 5300 supports "offline hot-swap" (sometimes referred to as "warm-  
swap") array modules, including DAT drives. This means the drives can be removed and replaced with  
the power on and the SCSI cables attached to the server. Because the array's SCSI buses are not  
buffered, however, drive replacement should only take place while the SCSI bus is quiescent (no SCSI  
activity from the tape drive or any other device on the same bus). This is similar to HP hot-plug DAT  
drives, though the hot-plug drives are not affected by other devices on the bus.  
With the HP StorageWorks DAT hot-plug tape drives or array modules, the server does not need to be  
taken offline to install the tape drive. Simply insert the tape drive into the server's hot-plug bay or the  
Tape Array 5300's drive bay and install or configure the backup software.  
Rack-Mount Tape  
Options  
HP DAT SCSI drives are supported on the HP StorageWorks 1U and 3U Rack-Mount Kits and the HP  
StorageWorks Tape Array 5300. The 3U Rack-Mount Kit and the Tape Array 5300 allow up to four  
internal DAT drives to be installed in 3U of rack space, while the 1U Rack-Mount Kit holds two DAT  
drives in 1U of space. Both the 1U and 3U rack-mount kits use standard internal DAT SCSI drives for a  
low-cost solution, while the Tape Array 5300 uses DAT array modules that provide offline hot-swap  
capabilities and redundant components for high-availability environments.  
Either of these rack enclosures can be configured with separate SCSI buses (channels) for each drive or  
two or more drives per bus using the optional cable kits.  
NOTE: Please refer to the QuickSpecs for HP StorageWorks Rack-Mount Kits at

Wait for the current operation to  
finish, then insert a different tape  
and repeat the operation that was  
being performed.  
If the media caution signal does  
not show this time, it indicates that  
the original cartridge was nearing  
the end of its useful life. Copy any  
data you want to keep from the  
original tape onto a new tape if  
possible, and then discard the old  
tape.  
If the media caution signal  
appears again with the second  
tape, the tape heads need  
cleaning.  
If the media caution signal  
appears after using a cleaning  
cartridge, the cleaning cartridge  
has probably expired and should  
be discarded.

HP DAT drives perform a comprehensive  
self-test during power-up. If a hard error  
causes the self-test to fail, the clean light  
changes to steady amber. Run HP Library  
& Tape Tools to help diagnose the  
problem.
