Chapter 5. Using the Media

The IBM TotalStorage LTO Ultrium 2 Tape Drive uses the following cartridge types:

vIBM TotalStorage LTO Ultrium 200 GB Data Cartridge (Generation 2)

vIBM LTO Ultrium Cleaning Cartridge

vIBM TotalStorage Cleaning Cartridge (Ultrium LTO 2)

The Ultrium 2 Tape Drive (Generation 2) is compatible with the cartridges of its predecessor, the IBM Ultrium Internal Tape Drive (Generation 1). Cartridge compatibility for the Ultrium 2 Tape Drive is as follows:

vReads and writes Generation 2 cartridges to Generation 2 format

vReads and writes Generation 1 cartridges to Generation 1 format

vDoes not write Generation 2 cartridges to Generation 1 format

vDoes not write Generation 1 cartridges to Generation 2 format
