    		Exabyte Mammoth 8mm Tape Drive
    Exabyte's new M2 is the best enterprise-level high performance tape drive engineered for the midrange market.

    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 are invaluable for companies that need to store large amounts of data and retrieve them quickly and easily. M2 is 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. 

    For scalable data storage solutions that will work now and in the future, Exabyte's MammothTape(tm) technology provides a robust roadmap into the 21st century.
