Hot Hardware heeft een review in elkaar gezet van de Onstream SC30 tapestreamer. Het apparaat ziet er ongeveer zo uit:
  |
De drive heeft een capaciteit van 30Gig (compressed) en een snelheid van 7,2Gb per uur!
We decided to go ahead and back up our IBM 9 Gig Drive to see if we got anywhere in the ballpark of the "up to 7.2Gig/Hour" data rates. We ran two passes of the backup on our Pentium III 450 rig with 128MB of RAM.Our first pass was intended just to let the drive sit and do its "thang" undisturbed. While backing up our data, the drive was extremely quiet only whirring slightly as it streamed data on to the tape at approximately an average of 70MB/minute. Our drive was only about half full of data and the back up took an hour and 15 minutes for 5.6Gigs. This a substantial improvement over traditional tape drives that would have taken more than 3X the time it took the SC30.
