Designed for use with the new Quantum SDLT 600, the Super DLTtape II cartridge delivers a monstrous 300GB native (up to 600GB compressed) capacity. Incorporating DLTtape’s new e MP60™ tape technology, the Super DLTtape cartridge provides customers with the highest reliability available. Combining next-generation technical innovations pioneered by Quantum together with a proven magnetic & optical technologies, Super DLTtape II achieves a new level of capacity & reliability. For example, by transferring optical servo guide information to the opposite side of the media, Super DLTtape II enables a significant increase in the number of recording tracks on the data-bearing media surface. Super DLTtape II uses a new Super PET (S-PET) base film. This is a super-tensilized version of the PET base film used for previous generations of DLTtape. The S-PET base film strengthens the tape, enabling an overall thickness reduction of 10%. This results in an extra 200 feet of media in a Super DLTtape II cartridge versus a Super DLTtape I cartridge. The combination of metal particle orientation, a dense binding system, a smooth coating surface, & a specially selected S-PET base film, allows the Super DLTtape II media to accept shorter wavelength recording & achieve higher density & performance with better signal response & enhanced signal strength than Super DLTtape I media & other technologies. Features High capacity – 300GB native & up to 600GB compressed Solid reliability – Archival life of more than 30 years EMP60 technology – Improves recording densities enabling higher capacities Super PET (S-PET) base film – Strengthens tape, allowing better usability UP TO 600GB Compressed Capacity 630m Tape length Super DLTtape II is the most advanced media in its class. The Super DLTtape II magnetic recording layer is thinner & its magnetic particle size is smaller than the previous generation to boost tape drive performance with superior media capacity & superior reliability. The Super DLTtape II media establishes a new standard in performance & media management & is ideally suited for the most demanding & data-intensive automation, enterprise & st&-alone DLTtape environments. ...

Universal cleaning tape SDLT cleaning tape Universal cleaning tape DLTtape cleaning cartridges have helped to keep DLTtape drives running at optimal performance. Special Formulations for All DLTtape Drives As DLTtape drives & media have enhanced, the need for head cleaning has reduced significantly. However, environmental factors, cleanliness of operating locations & high duty cycles can impact drive performance. When cleaning is needed, specially formulated cleaning cartridges can keep DLTtape drives running strong. DLTtape cleaning cartridges are designed to ensure the right level of care for each specific DLTtape drive head. Cartridges work in conjunction with cleaning algorithms in the tape drive’s firmware to ensure that performance & reliability are not compromised. Why take risks with your mission-critical data? Keep your DLTtape drives at optimal performance with DLTtape cleaning cartridges. Five important cleaning tips 1. Always clean drives when cleaning is indicated through the cleaning light or through the backup software. The drive constantly monitors its performance & will trigger cleaning events. 2. Only use a cleaning cartridge when cleaning is indicated through your backup software, or when the drive's cleaning light is illuminated. Cleaning on a preset schedule, rather than when requested by the drive, leads to excessive wear, diminishing drive life & performance. 3. Using a cleaning cartridge more than 20 times results in ineffective head cleaning. Always mark the label on your cleaning cartridge. After the cartridge has been used 20 times, it must be retired. 4. Know which DLTtape cleaning cartridge works for your drive. A full range of DLTtape cleaning cartridges are available. Each was developed for optimal read/write head performance with its matching drive. Review the Cleaning Cartridge Compatibility chart on this data sheet to determine which cartridge can be used with your drive. 5. Periodically check for drive firmware updates on the web. Updates to firmware may include enhanced cleaning algorithms or other enhancements that will help keep your drive running at optimal performance. ...
