Product Description

  • Product Name: VXA-2 Packet Internal Tape Drive
  • Marketing Information:

    The VXA-2 tape drive provides 160GB of data storage VXA-2 is the second-generation drive based on the award winning VXA packet technology and is quickly becoming the standard for DDS replacement. VXA-2 is fully compatible with all VXA drives, media, and automation products currently available from IBM, Compaq, Apple, Fujitsu, Toshiba and others.

    What"s making VXA so popular? VXA-2 delivers 4x more capacity and 2x more speed than DDS-4 at a similar price. It"s the only tape drive that allows DDS users to migrate to a higher capacity, higher performance tape backup product at the same cost to which they are accustomed.

    It"s a simple choice, when you need the security of a standard and the capacity for your storage growth, at a price that"s below your budget - you need VXA.

    Customer Reviews

    Great tape unit, bad warranty policies.1
    I run a small IT shop with a few Linux servers, around 100 users, and a few web sites. To avoid multiple tape loaders, we switched from DAT to the VXA because nothing else could touch the price/performance ratio of these drives. Tip: pay very close attention to the manual regarding the tape drive door.

    Nonetheless, we are abondoning our entire investment in these drives. The problem is this: if a drive is completely dead, Exabyte will issue an RMA. If a drive has intermitant problems, they will not. Our last contact with tech support resulted in them stating that we could have the drive repaired, but not under warranty.

    Before purchasing, I received good advice by others who had the same miserable experience - which I promptly and whole-heartedly ignored. Shame on me.
