Spectra Logic T950 Limitations

Spectra Logic
T950
All tapes housed in magazines
called TeraPacks
• Extra expense for TeraPacks

All internal tape movement
requires moving a TeraPack
• Very complex pick mechanism
requires over twice the
components as XLS
• Uses 30% more power


Requires a “QIP” (Quad Interface
Pack) for every four drives –
access lost to 4 drives when QIP
fails
Requires COD slot license fees to
expand
