2.6.3 Backward-Read Compatibility Transfer Rates
Both the SDLT 220 and SDLT 320 drives feature an optional backward-read
compatibility (BRC) mode. When in BRC mode, the drives are capable of reading
DLTtape IV tapes with DLT4000, DLT7000, DLT8000, and DLT 1 formats. The
BRC transfer rates for the SDLT drive are listed in Table 2-7.
Table 2-7. Backward Read Compatibility (BRC) Transfer Rates
Format Cartridge Type Native Capacity (GB)
Native Read Transfer

SDLT 320 SDLT I 160 16.0
SDLT 220 SDLT I 110 11.0
DLT 8000 DLT IV 40 4.0
DLT 7000 DLT IV 35 3.5
DLT 4000 DLT IV 20 1.5
DLT 1 (Benchmark) DLT IV 40 3.0
Notes:
• Transfer rates quoted are nominal, measured reading uncompressed data.
• Non-SDLT drives will eject a cartridge written in SDLT 320 format.
• The SDLT 320 can read and write the SDLT 220 format at the native SDLT 220 transfer rate of
11.0 MB/sec.
