DATMAN TECHNICAL BULLETIN #029



From:    tech@datman.com
To:      DATMAN user
Subject: Seagate DDS Model number update
Date:    1999-09-15
====================================================================

This is an update to our earlier page at  TB #014 .

We extracted the infomation in this page from Seagate's web page (1999-09-14)
and reorganized the data for your convenience.  The primary purpose of
this page is to classify the tape drives into the DDS-xx nomenclature.
Once you know which DDS technology your drive belongs, you will know
the capacity limit as well as the hardware data compression capability.
