FujiFilm AVR-4802 manual 3592, Coating technology, Dispersion technology

NANOCUBIC is an ultra-thin layer coating that results in higher resolution for recording digital data, ultra-low noise and high signal-to-noise ratios that are ideal for magneto- resistive (MR) heads. It is capable of catapulting data cartridge to one-terabyte native (uncompressed) capacities and floppy disk capacities to three gigabytes. To help visualise the potential, over 700,000 floppy disks or 13 DLT™IV tapes would be re- quired to store 1TB of data. Fujifilm is already beginning to work with drive manufac- turers to develop new, high capacity magnetic storage products using NANOCUBIC.

1. Coating technology:

NANOCUBIC employs an advanced precision coating process that can control the thickness of the magnetic layer on a nanometer scale.

Proprietary Nanocubic technology assures high capacity and rock-solid reliability

In today's information age, enterprise-class data storage systems require the use of storage media that offer both high capacity and high reliability. FUJIFILM's 3592 Enterprise Tape Cartridge for IBM 3592 TotalStorage® Enterprise Tape Drive Systems offers outstanding reliability.

Ruggedly constructed cartridge shells

For maximum durability, cartridge shells are constructed of heavy-gauge resin and internal components are specially designed to withstand heavy use. Five high

tensile-strength screws are also used to secure the cartridge shell halves together.

High-reliability sliding door mechanism

Dust protection and durability are enhanced by a high reliable curved sliding door and leader pin system.

Built in memory modules

All cartridges are equipped with multifunction non-contact flash memory modules.

DATA: 300GB High Capacity Tape Cartridge

Capability to record 512 tracks with capacity of 300GB and 900GB (3:1data com- pressed).

ECONOMY: 60GB Economical, Fast-Access Tape Cartridge

The fast-access FUJIFILM 3592 Tape minimizes the time to access necessary data. Its tape is shorter and offers 60GB capacity (180GB with 3:1 data compression).
