IBM 3592 Explained
The IBM 3592 is a series of tape backup alternatives, tape drives, and magnetic tape data storage media. The 3592 tape series can accumulate up to 10 TB of data (uncompressed) and has a data transfer rate of up to 360 MB/s. IBM 3592 tape cartridges come in three varieties, 3592JJ, 3592JA and 3592JB. All IBM 3592 tapes also are available in a WORM model. The 3592 tape is a ½” wide tape with an advanced magnetic coating. This property allows a high output and signal quality to support TS1120 and 3592 JLA Drives. The magnetic layer is less than 0.2 microns thick with a specially refined coating to improve media reliability and performance. Due to their speed, dependability, strength and low cost, 3592 tape drives remain in high demand.
The 3592 JJ cartridge offers 246m of tape and provides 60/100/128 GB of capacity for various IBM tape drives.
The 3592 JD cartridge holds 1072m of tape and offers 10 TB of capacity.
The 3592 JC cartridge holds 88m of tape and offers 4 TB of capacity.
