1.2 What is SCSI?

SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) is an industry standard used to

connect peripherals to your computer through a standard hardware interface,

using standard SCSI commands. Currently, there are three generations of the

SCSI interface: SCSI-1, SCSI-2 and SCSI-3, which is made up of at least 14

separate standards documents.

For a more detailed discussion of SCSI, please refer to 5. Technical

Information and 9. Appendix 1 – SCSI Questions and Answers.

The SCSI Icon This icon will help you easily identify the SCSI interface.

It appears on some SCSI cables and next to the SCSI

port connectors on certain computers.

Software

For guidance on application software that can be used with your LaCie DDS4

Drive and the supported operating systems, please contact your reseller or

LaCie Technical Support.

DDS4 Drive and Cartridge Compatibility

The LaCie DDS4 Drive supports the DDS4, DDS3, DDS2 and DDS1 recording

formats. Compatibility with each of these formats ensures complete write and

read interchange of recorded digital data between all compliant drive and

media vendors.

The following DDS cartridges are compatible with the LaCie DDS4 drive:

Model Name / Length / Recording

Capacity DDS2

Drive DDS3

Drive DDS4

Drive

DDS1 M32000 / 90-meter / 2/4GB* X X X

DDS2 M34000 / 120-meter / 4/8GB* X X X

DDS3 STDM24G / 125-meter / 12/24GB* -- X X

DDS4 STMD40 / 150-meter / 20/40GB* -- -- X

STDMCL DDS Cleaning Cartridge X X X

*Capacity is based on 1:2 compression ratio

Important Note: The LaCie DDS4 drive can not use 60-meter DDS1

media.

Important Note: In data compression mode, the LaCie DDS4 drive

typically doubles the storage capacity and transfer rate of the native

uncompressed operation. Tape capacity and sustained data transfer

rate are dependent upon the characteristics of the files being compressed,

along with system parameters such as the speed of the host, the operating

system and the application software used. The LaCie DDS4 drive also offers

synchronous and asynchronous SCSI transfers with a high-speed burst data

transfer rate of 80MB/sec.
