Exabyte M 2 tape drives
Exabyte M2 drives read and write to AME cartridges with
SmartClean™technology, combining reliable AME recording
media with a short segment of head cleaning material. When the
M2 drive determines cleaning is needed, it locates the cleaning
material
and
performs the cleaning automatically. AME cartridges
with SmartClean are easily identified by their cobalt-blue color
and are available from Exabyte in lengths of 75 meters,
150 meters, and 225 meters (see
page 121 for storage capacities).
➤
Important
For optimal performance and
reliability, Exabyte recommends only AME media
with SmartClean for M2 tape drives. M2 can use
other AME media, but will require regular cleaning
with an Exabyte Mammoth cleaning cartridge.
The M2 drive cannot write data to or read data from metal particle
(MP) tape. If you insert an MP cartridge, the drive immediately
ejects it .
Note:
M2 does not support AIT cartridges. If you try to insert an
AIT cartridge, the drive automatically ejects it.
