TS2900 tape autoloader is a compact tape unit that offers reliability, density, and performance for compact tape libraries.

• Compact tape library for high capacity and high performance
• Remote management capabilities
• Digital speed matching

• Independent tape loader and threader motors and positive pin retention
  These technologies help improve the reliability of loading and unloading a cartridge and retain the pin, even if tension is dropped. An independent loader motor, coupled with the positive pin retention, causes the tape to thread with a higher level of reliability.
• Graceful dynamic braking
  If there is a power failure, reel motors maintain tension and gradually decelerate instead of stopping abruptly, which helps reduce tape breakage, stretching, or loose tape wraps during a sudden power outage.
• Digital speed matching
  These tape drives perform dynamic speed matching to adjust the drive's native data rate as closely as possible to the net host data rate (after data compressibility is factored out). This matching helps reduce the number of backhitch repositions and improve throughput performance.
• Robust drive components optimized for automation environments
  To help enhance reliability and prolong the life of the drives, robust components are used, such as an all metal clutch, steel ball bearings in the loader, robust leader block design, and a single circuit card.
