The VXA-2 tape drive is the second-generation drive based on the award winning VXA packet technology and is quickly becoming the standard for DDS replacement. VXA-2 is fully compatible with all VXA drives, media, and automation products currently available from IBM, Compaq, Apple, Fujitsu, Toshiba and others. What's making VXA so popular? VXA-2 delivers 4x more capacity and 2x more speed than DDS-4 at a similar price. It's the only tape drive that allows DDS users to migrate to a higher capacity, higher performance tape backup product at the same cost to which they are accustomed. It's a simple choice, when you need the security of a standard and the capacity for your storage growth, at a price that's below your budget - you need VXA.
