Automation reduces the risk of operator errors and saves valuable time. HP’s DDS-3 autoloader, the HP SureStore DAT24×6 4mm tape drive, is the ideal solution to automate backup operations.

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*.
