EXATAPEÔ Data Cartridges

The tape drives use data-quality removable, rewriteable 8mm metal-particle data cartridges. These data cartridges require no formatting or other media conditioning before use.

#Important Exabyte strongly recommends that you use EXATAPE data-grade media with all Exabyte products, including the

EXB-8205, EXB-8205XL, EXB-8505, and EXB-8505XL. EXATAPE media meets specifications that are the most stringent in the industry.

Unlike media available from other manufacturers, EXATAPE media is specifically controlled for use in a data storage environment and offers reliability, extended durability, and long-term archivability. In addition, exclusive use of EXATAPE media with Exabyte 8mm tape drives has been shown to prolong head and tape life.

Table 1-5 shows EXATAPE data cartridge compatibility with Exabyte half-high and full-high drives.
