No, a SDT-7000 is a DDS2 drive. they hold 4GB of _uncompressed_ data. If compress the data and assume a 2:1 ratio, it holds 8GB. DDS1: 1GB DDS2: 4GB DDS3: 12GB DDS4: 24GB (above is all _physical_ data capacity) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
