The HP DDS-4 offers optimum read/write performance and data interchange that is maintained over the long-term by Real Time Adaptive Filtering, which compensates for drive wear. HP's patented Advance Sequence Detector increases data integrity by as much as 10 times. Improved tape path cleaning means less reliance on user maintenance. TapeAlert continually monitors the backup status.
