Oracle SL150 Tape Library

Basics
- A 3U Module
- A 2U Expansion Module
- Etc.
What to ask/confirm:
- The number of slots will determine how many modules are required.
- If the discussion is stated in required capacity (rather than slot quanity), see Capacity Chart below.
- How Many?
- Which kind: LTO 7 or 8?
Native Capacity | Native Capacity | Compression Ratio | Compressed Capacity | Compressed Capacity | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
30 Slot | 450 Slot | 25 Slot | 450 Slot | ||
LTO 7 | 180 TB | 2.7 PB | 2.5:1 | 450 TB | 6.75 PB |
LTO 8 | 360 TB | 5.4 PB | 2.5:1 | 900 TB | 13.5 PB |
Capacity Calculations
- 1 PB/450 TB = 2.22; So, three 30 slot increments needed, three modules needed (BM + 2 EM).

LTO 7 | 150/300 TB | 4.8 PB | 2.5:1 | 375/750 TB | 12 PB |
Capacity Calculations:
- 6 PB/375 TB = 16; So, sixteen 25 slot increments needed, 4 Modules needed (CM + 3 EM).
