TECMAR Travan  20GB IDE Streamer

Tecmar's 20GB Network Series tape drives are ideal for the emerging class of Windows NT servers and workstations. With 20 gigabytes of compressed capacity on a single tape at a transfer rate of 2 megabytes per second, Tecmar's NS20 delivers the highest capacity and fastest transfer rates of any Travan drives available. Tecmar's NS20 is also the only in-form Travan NS20 tape drive system with NSync, an integrated precision tape loading mechanism exclusive to Tecmar's Network Series solutions. That means a metal chassis with smoother loading, more precise registration, faster access, reduced noise, greater security and improved tracking.
