The Dell™ PowerVault™ 120T DDS4 Autoloader is a high-capacity data storage cartridge changer using 4mm DAT (Digital Audio Tape) technology. The tape autoloader achieves high data reliability through read-after-write and an additional level of error correction code (ECC). The tape autoloader stores data on tape using a standard format called DDS (Digital Data Storage), DDSDC, DDS2, DDS3 and DDS4. This format is used by numerous other DDS tape drive manufacturers, providing a broad range of compatible tape drives. The tape autoloader is fully READ and WRITE compatible with the DDS4, DDS3, DDS2, DDS and DDSDC format tapes.
