5.1 Data cartridges
5.1.1 DAT 160 tape drives and DAT 160 cartridges
DAT 160 cartridges can only be used with DAT 160 tape drives; they are wider
than earlier formats and will not fit into earlier tape drive models. DAT 160
cartridges provide optimum performance and maximum capacity for DAT 160
tape drives. DAT 160 tape drives are also backwards compatible with some
earlier formats, see
table 3 on page 24 .
Compatibility
For optimum performance and storage capacity, use tape cartridges that match
your drive’s format, and normally use only one cartridge per day. Ideally, use:
– DAT 160 cartridges with DAT 160 tape drives
– DAT 72 cartridges with DAT 72 tape drives
– DDS-4 cartridges with DDS-4 tape drives
– DDS-3 and DDS-2 cartridges with DDS-3 tape drives
I
DDS-1 cartridges are not supported on any DAT 160 drive.
