Our take on the Dell PV110T External LTO1 Tape Drive

The Dell PV110T is an external LTO-1 tape drive with a native capacity of 100GB per cartridge, or 200GB with 2:1 compression. It connects over SCSI and is built for archiving and backup on older servers and workstations. LTO-1 is a first-generation standard, so it is slow and low-capacity next to any LTO-4 or later drive. It suits someone keeping a legacy backup setup running, not anyone buying new storage.

Pros
  • Native 100GB per cartridge, 200GB compressed
  • External enclosure, so no server bay needed
  • LTO-1 media is widely available and inexpensive
  • Standard SCSI interface fits older servers
Cons
  • LTO-1 is obsolete; later generations hold far more per tape
  • Slow transfer rates by modern standards
  • SCSI cabling and host adapter needed
  • No hardware encryption, which arrived with later LTO generations

Questions and answers

How much data fits on one LTO-1 cartridge?
100GB native, or up to 200GB with 2:1 compression. Real compression depends on the data type.
Does it work with a modern PC?
Only with a SCSI host adapter and driver support. Most current machines have no SCSI port.
Can it read later LTO tapes?
No. An LTO-1 drive reads and writes LTO-1 only, and cannot read LTO-2 or newer cartridges.
Is it worth buying over a newer LTO drive?
Only to keep an existing LTO-1 archive or rotation working. For new backups, an LTO-4 or later drive holds far more per tape and runs faster.
What is in the box?
The external drive unit itself. Tapes, SCSI cable and terminator are usually bought separately, so confirm before ordering.
Where is the Dell PV110T External LTO1 Tape Drive cheapest?
At Gotodirect, for $581.62, as of our latest check.
