The travan tapes were viewed as desktop-workstation data-protection device, but now Travan tape drives are installed in entry-servers and connected to notebook PCs and Apple Macintosh systems.Imation and Segate launched the “Travan 40” .The travan40 is the 7th generation of Travan tape technology. The traven 40 has data transfer rate of 4MB/s and provides storage capacity up to 40GB per cartridge (compressed 2:1). The Travan 40 tape drive products are designed to support and fulfill the needs of entry-level server and workstation users where price per gigabyte and reliability matter most.

Travan backup tapes reduce the operational cost, and are offer efficient reliable backup results to the enterprises. It is also successful with network workstations, medium and small enterprises. Travan tape has the technology and the capacity to handle the increasing storage needs, with low operational costs. New Travan tape drive features continue to be added to enhance use, reliability and productivity. A steel chassis for more durability, a soft-load mechanism to reduce normal wear and tear; a VR2 data channel device that enables higher densities; a park feature to ensure track alignment if the write-operation is paused or interrupted: and a thermal monitor that activates a firmware throttle-down feature when drive temperatures reach predetermined levels.
The new tranan tape is designed to reduce the media stress and hence improves the drive reliability and data integrity. The base of travan tape technology is the linear recording QIC. QIC stands for quarter inch cartridge. Travan tape has advantage over other backup tape formats in terms of price and ease of use. Travan data storage drives and tape cartridges have been hailed for providing excellent performance for backing up and restoring data quickly.The travan tapes provide outstanding reliability thus ensuring the integrity of mission-critical data, and for providing a cost-effective solution to match the budgets typical for entry-level servers. The breadth of new interface support and features has added to increased system platform support and user requirements. Internal Travan tape drives with SCSI-2 or ATAPI (IDE) interfaces are available today for installation inside of PCs, workstations and entry-level servers.
Seagate has developed the extemal Travan tape drives with a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed interface for users of notebook and desktop PCs, Apple Macintosh systems and workstations.Many users including mobile PC and workstation users want USB 2.0 connectivity and a plug-and-play, high-speed backup solution that allows protection of their entire system on a single data cartridge. With either 20GB or 40GB compressed data protection per cartridge, users have a choice in capacity for their business continuity protection and disaster avoidance needs.
The industry-leading OEMs (original equipment manufacturer) have adopted Travan technology as one of their standard backup options for entry-level servers. This wide availability is good news for the small- and medium-sized businesses looking for cost-effective solutions for storing vital business data. With a clear migration path based on the newest Travan 40 drives and data cartridges, and commitment from industry-leading OEMs, Travan technology is poised to continue to deliver the scalability and reliability the market demands.
