Fujitsu 3480
The MP-8418 by MP Tapes reads and writes tape formats compatible with the IBM 3480 tape drives. Mathematical analysis of all mechanical components resulted in the lowest number of components of any 3480 and 3490 compatible drive on the market.

The M2483H and M2485H drives, with 2-megabyte buffers, can attain a continuous stream of data input/output that offers a sustained data transfer rate of 3 megabytes per second.
