## Internal hardware enhancements 

These drives feature the following significant hardware enhancements over the previous models: 

GLYPH<SM590000> New dataflow ASIC chip (Bara) in CU-32 technology 

GLYPH<SM590000> Enables higher data rate of 400MB/s) 

GLYPH<SM590000> Enables longer C2 ECC code and iterative decoding (effective SNRa uplift) 

GLYPH<SM590000> Increases HIB transfer rate to 800 MBps for FC-16/Ethernet attachment 

GLYPH<SM590000> SPA write driver 

GLYPH<SM590000> TMR read sensor technology of approximately 1um reader width 

GLYPH<SM590000> High Bs writer to support writing of higher capacity JE tape 

GLYPH<SM590000> TMR Shorting mitigators TBALL Readers 

GLYPH<SM590000> New FC-16 Lancer G6 host target chip and PCIE bridge FPGA 

GLYPH<SM590000> New Arrowhead Qlogic Ethernet chip with support for iSCSI/RoCE 10Gb, 25Gb 

GLYPH<SM590000> Spring load rollers with new lubricant 

GLYPH<SM590000> New JE media support 

GLYPH<SM590000> Magnetic layer features new higher Hc perpendicularly oriented BaFe particle 

GLYPH<SM590000> Thinner underlayer supporting longer tape. 

The data-dependent, noise-predictive, maximum-likelihood (DD-NPML) detection scheme was developed at IBM Research™, Zurich, to enable the accurate detection of data errors. 

## 2.2.3 Media 

The TS1160 drives use the new higher Hc perpendicularly oriented BaFe particle media types. 

This new media uses oriented perpendicular BaFe mag layer, which is an approximately 1.8 dB bbSNR improvement from JC/JD. The new media can be read/written up to 400 MBps native sustained data rate (up to 900 MBps at 3:1 compression ratio) in the new 32-channel Jag6, 6E, 5, 5E, 5A, and 5AE logical format, as listed in Table 2-6.

Important: TS1160 is not compatible with several older 3592 cartridge media types: JA, JB, JW, JJ, JR, and JX media types J3, J2, and J1. (MEDIA5, MEDIA6, MEDIA7, MEDIA8, MEDIA9, and MEDIA10).
