DAT Backup Unit for Sale! Only $1024 Plus Shipping! With a tape &
software!
This is a WangDAT SCSI True 4mm DAT Tape Backup Unit...
It stores 2 GIGABYTES of information per DAT tape...
This unit is brand new, in the box, with the manual, and a full one
year warranty.
It conforms to both SCSI 1 & SCSI 2 Standards, for the fastest
throughput...Works best with high-speed SCSI cards such as the newer
adaptec units, but will work with any SCSI card with ASPI drivers...
This is a much lower cost than you'll find elsewhere...It's the
wholesale
price, for quantity 10, without tax...
It's perfect for offline storage for large BBSs, home use, for GIF
storage
or simply archiving large hard drives at work without having to
switch tapes.
Included free are 3 software packages, Sytos Plus, Novaback, and Maynard
DAT backup...It can be driven from the command line, which makes it easy
to add as a door to most BBS systems, for online file retrevial...It can
access any point on the tape in less than 30 seconds!!!
Tapes are only $7.50 - $15.00 depending on where you get them, and for
that
low price you can store 2 GIGS PER TAPE!!! This makes it MUCH MUCH
cheaper
to use in the long run than any other tape unit such as a Jumbo 250!!!
I only have one of these, that I bought for my BBS, but cannot afford to
keep at this time, and would like to sell to someone that can use a DAT
unit at an incredible price, but it's been in my possession for less
than
30 days, and I can still return it if necessary.
The Mean Time Between Failure for this unit is 50,000 HOURS WHILE IN
USE!!!
That means if you're backing information up for 5 years straight, you'll
wear this sucker out, but most likely you'll use it for minutes per
night
or per week...
It transfers data at up to 10 times the speed of other tape backup
units,
such as the Jumbo 250, because it's a TRUE SCSI device and not subject
to the throughput limitations of a floppy controller card (slow!)...
If interested, Call:
Bill Rockefeller
(415) 266-7682 (24 hours a day)
Will ship COD:Cash only via UPS Blue Label the day you call!
I'm selling it for my (dealer) cost, no tax, no markup whatsoever...
$1024 (with one tape included, and 3 software packages) to the first
buyer. (I'll even send the invoice to verify this!)
The closest price I've seen to this was at NCA peripherals, for $1249,
and that's without a tape, without the software ($79-$99 PER Package!)
and without shipping!
Call now! This puppy won't last!
