SCSI Tape drives to Compact Flash Disk for HP Servers
A virtual Server Tape Emulation using Compact Flash Cards
Tape drives used in HP
servers for example, can be replaced by a standalone solution.
- Directly replaces original SCSI Tape drives.
- Zero tape positioning times leading to quick read process.
- Removable media can be treated as a single tape media.
- Flash disks provide rugged media.
- Eliminates problems of slow backups and failing tape drives.
- Simple plug & play installation.
- A small light weight alternative to the original tape drive.
- Supports SCSI1/SASI/SCSI2 interfaces.
- Solid State solution with no moving parts.

- Removable Media can be treated as a single SCSI media
- Flash disk provides very rugged media.
- Eliminates problems with failing disk drives.
- Simple plug & play installation.
- A small light weight alternative to the original SCSI drive.
- Solid State solution with no moving parts.
Technical specifications for SCSI Disk to Emulator
- Power:
- Input Power: Via standard Molex style disk drive connector 5V & 12 V. 12V not used- no connection. 5V +/- 5% @ 500 Ma (dictated by CF Media)
- CF Power:
- 3V3 via on board regulator.
- Environmental:
- Operating Temperature: Commercial operating temperature range from 0%C to +65%C.
- SCSI Interface:
- Single-ended 50 pin bus SCSI 2 or SCSI 1 or SASI with many emulations.
- Synchronous & asynchronous transfer capable at Fast SCSI 2 Burst rates of 10 Mbytes/sec.
- SCSI Termination via on board active terminators selectable via a jumper.
- HVD (High Voltage Differential) SCSI interface is possible by using a plug-in daughter card option. On board HVD terminators are also selectable.
IBM, Sony and HP Servers
Application Environment brief
This solution can be used to replace worn out SCSI disks or Magneto drives in bering enclosures for the HP-1B connection to the HP 1000 and 9000 computers.
SCSI2 interfaces allow for the replacement of Magneto drives for Legacy Servers like IBM AS 400 RS6000 host computers.
Sony C301, SMO-F541 and other Magneto drives can be replaced by a solid state disk solution with all the benefits that comes with it.
