The HP SureStore DAT24×6 4mm tape drive meets the capacity needs of your growing PC network. Using hardware data compression, it can store 24 GB on a single tape in just over three hours*. The ability to store an entire week’s worth of data in one magazine means less operator time and less chance of human error.
