The IBM 3590 (Magstar) is a series of Tape Drives and corresponding magnetic tape data storage media formats developed by IBM. The 3590 series of tape drives and media are not compatible with the IBM 3592 line of drives that replaced it. They can store up to 60 GB of data (uncompressed). This family superseded the IBM 3480 Tape Drives popular in 1980s and 1990s.
Like the 3480 and 3592 formats, this tape format has half inch tape spooled onto 4-by-5-by-1 inch data cartridges containing a single reel. A takeup reel is embedded inside the tape drive. The 3590 Tape Drives are still in high demand and Sunstar Company maintains an inventory of numerous models and configurations. Units are sold with warranty and can be made available for IBM maintenance.
.A hallmark of the genre is transferability. Tapes recorded with one tape drive are generally readable on another drive, even if the tape drives were built by different manufacturers. Magstar tapes and drives are available in 128, 256 and 384-track versions.
