Tape Storage Test Report: StorageTek Tape Drive Open Systems Performance

Overview The StorageTek Engineering Validation Testing Group initiated a proof of concept (POC) in response to a request for a benchmark performance comparison between the current fibre StorageTek's T9840B tape drive, T9940A tape drive, IBM 3590-E11 and StorageTek's newer T9940B tape drive. These performance benchmarks will compare throughput versus block size for the fibre environment.
