Tape Technology

Superior

Tape Stability and Reliability – Maxell data cartridges are manufactured with 

state-of-the-art

technology for high performance and superior quality.

Proprietary,

high-coercivity, corrosion resistant Ceramic Armor Metal Particles

provide superior data protection, high signal-to-noise ratio and low error rate.

Low abrasive tape 

increases

drive head life.

Highly efficient

error correction coding ensures reliable recovery of data.

High-Precision Servo Tracking (HPST) – 

Superior

measurement stability using stable PEN base film.

Very smooth and rigid film provides extremely stable and 

reliable

data recording/playback.

Dual servo bands insure smooth reads and writes. If one servo element fails or a portion of tape servo code 
becomes corrupt, the head will continue to track using the second servo system.

Encryption capabilities

designed to enable hardware-based writing of encrypted data to the cartridge, helping to 

protect the storage and transport of sensitive information.

Available in WORM – Prevent data from being over-written or erased. Meets regulatory compliance requirements.

Cartridge Technology

Dependable

and Sturdy Data Cartridges – Maxell’s cartridge design offers 

superior

reliability and durability.

The Maxell 

proprietary

cartridge locking mechanism prevents unwanted tape movement and slack during 

transportation and storage.

Heavy-duty

leader pin, designed in collaboration with leading drive manufacturers, is strong enough to stand 

up to 20,000 load/unload operations.

Cartridge is manufactured using 

high-precision

molding technology and spot welding for superior shock 

resistance, helping to keep error rates low and reliability high.

The cartridge semiconductor memory device facilitates high-speed data searches and management of 
cartridges in libraries.
