The SDLT 600A tape drive allows for over 6 hours of HD (high definition) and over 25 hours of SD (standard definition) storage on a single Super DLTtape II media cartridge.

The LTO-3A tape drive allows for over 8 hours of HD and over 33 hours of SD storage on a single Ultrium 3 media cartridge.

Note: There is a limitation on the number of files that can be stored on a media cartridge based on the size of the files and the size of the filenames stored on the table of contents (TOC) region of the tape. For example, the A-Series SDLT 600A tape drive can hold approximately 8,000 files. This limit can be significantly smaller if the filenames are long and/or there are many MXF files.
