Why use Turtle Cases?
Turtle cases protect data tapes from
1. Damage from shock/impact
2. Debris from foreign contaminants
3. Temperature/ Humidity extremes
Turtle cases are available with designs to protect many formats.
Turtle tape storage cases offer unparalleled protection so you will not have to worry about damage or data loss.
Why use tape?
There is a common misperception that backing up to tape is slower than disk. Speed of the most current generation LTO drives are equivalent with those of hard drives. LTO technology also delivers some of the best performance possible when comparing raw speed. Tape technology transfer rates also are far more straightforward and simple. It doesn’t have the same complicated backup constraints that slow down transfer rates on disk.
A major benefit of LTO storage is its ability to detect and correct errors in the data. As data is written to the magnetic tape, it is validated by reading it using the read heads. This verification process allows the drive to write a second copy of data that fails to verify on its own.
LTO cartridge is also much more durable than a hard drive due to the fact that it has no moving parts. Moreover, LTO magnetic storage uses no means of power or electricity to store data, unlike a hard drive that requires constant power flow in order to be accessible.
