For successful data backup, select the device with a large volume and download drivers for tape drives.
In addition to large capacity, tape drives are energy efficient, reliable and stable performance, as well as high-density, which is achieved due to the large surface of the magnetic layer. Their main drawback - the lack of direct access to information as to read a single file, you must first rewind the tape to the right place. This significantly slows processing.
All tape drives are divided into double reel and single reel. Both types of devices partially repeated principle of its outdated video and audio cassettes.
