Super DLTtape II uses a new Super PET (S-PET) base film enabling an overall thickness reduction of 10%. This results in a longer tape with more capacity versus a Super DLTtape I cartridge. Optical servo guide information is coded on the rear of the media, increasing the number of recording tracks on the data-bearing media surface. This enables higher capacity tape cartridges like Super DLT II.
