The TS2350 incorporates the Linear Tape-Open (LTO) <span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 9pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: 600; line-height: 11pt !important;">IBM System Storage Ultrium 5 Full-High Tape Drive</span>, which is designed to provide maximum tape drive throughput native data rate performance of up to 140 MB/sec compared to the IBM TS2240 LTO full-high Tape Drive (Ultrium 4) at up to 120 MB/sec native data transfer rate. In addition, with the use of the <span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 9pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: 600; line-height: 11pt !important;">IBM LTO Ultrium 5 1.5 TB Data Cartridge</span>, the IBM TS2350 Ultrium 5 Tape Drive provides nearly double the tape cartridge capacity with up to 1.5 TB native physical capacity (3.0 TB with 2:1 compression) compared to previous Ultrium 4 800 GB (1.6 TB with 2:1 compression) Tape Cartridges. IBM Ultrium 5 Tape Drives can read and write LTO Ultrium 4 data cartridges, and can read LTO Ultrium 3 data cartridges. The Ultrium 5 Tape Drive is encryption-capable and designed to support application managed encryption.</p>
