The merger of Hewlitt-Packard with Compaq created a duplication of electronic devices. Rather than have the lines compete each other for the same product, HP decided to merge the devices. The HP StorageWorks VS80 DLT is the product of the combination of the HP SureStore DLT VS80 and the Compaq DLT VS 40/80. Its capabilities were engineered to be the direct, universal replacement for the pre-merger drives. Capabilities of the VS80 DLT The VS80 DLT fills the need for reliable tape storage. This compact tape drive has a maximum capacity of 80 GB and a maximum data transfer rate of 6 MBs with a 20 to 1 compression rate. The Quantum DLT VS80 hard disk drive is equipped with Firmware 583 B, Ultra 2SCSI LVD and runs on a Compaq ProLiant DL360 Pentium(r) III 933 Mhz system with Compaq's 12/31/99 BIOS, PCI-ISA, and 1024 MB of Memory.

The VS80 DLT provided the storage industry with the first half-high, 5.25 inch form factor. With 40 GB of capacity (80 GB when compressed) and a 3MB/second transfer rate that converts to 6MB/second when compressed, this storage unit provides excellent storage capacity that is reliable. Engineered to use the industry standard DLT tape IV media and to be compatible with the popular DLT 4000 tape format, the VS80 DLT is a universal storage system with the capacity to comply with most businesses storage needs.
