Introduction Chapter 1 Introduction 1 Drive overview The Seagate STT8000A ATAPI minicartridge drive extends the Seagate family of one-inch high, DC2000 drives that feature high performance, high reliability, and quiet operation. The drive transfers data at up to 36 megabytes per minute (Mbytes/min) without compression. With optimal system resources and compressible data structures, nominal transfer rates of up to 60 Mbytes/min can be observed using software data compression (assumes 2:1 compress

Chapter 1 Introduction The STT8000A conforms to the QIC-3095 development standard adopted by Quarter-Inch Cartridge Drive Standards Inc. (QIC). The drive records in a serpentine fashion utilizing a 1,7 RLL (Run Length Limited) data encoding method, and provides for 72 data tracks and one (1) directory track on Travan TR-4 media. The drive offers electronically erasable, programmable, read-only memory (flash EEPROM), which enables qualified Seagate OEMs to download revised firmware to the drive.

Introduction Chapter 1 Instead, the write-read heads are logically or mechanically switched to a different position on the tape and another track is written or read in the reverse direction. That is, the drive first records track 1 in one direction and when the end of the tape is reached, the head is moved and the direction of tape motion is reversed to record track 2. This serpentine process continues until the entire tape is recorded. The individual tracks are sequential to minimize the amount
