This used to be the fastest tape drive in its class, M2 delivers a 30 MB per second compressed transfer rate, and a capacity of up to 150 GB (60 GB native). Ideal for UNIX, NT and LINUX environments, M2 automatically scales its performance to match the host system, without impacting server efficiency.

The superior speed and capacity of M2 were invaluable for companies that needed to store large amounts of data and retrieve them quickly and easily.  The M2 was a self-cleaning tape drive, equipped with conditioning heads and a dynamic cleaning wheel. Superior 225 AME media features Exabyte’s exclusive SmartClean(TM) technology with a section of cleaning tape at the beginning of each data cartridge.
