Cartridges
Data cartridges
LTO tape drives use Ultrium tape cartridges. These are single-reel cartridges that match your drive's format and are optimized
for high capacity, throughput and reliability. Compatible media can be recognized by the LTO logo, which is the same as the
logo on the front of your drive. Do not use other format cartridges in your tape drive and do not use Ultrium cartridges in
other format tape drives.
For optimum performance always use a data cartridge that matches the specification of your tape drive. A lower specification
will have a lower transfer speed and may not support write activities; a higher specification will not support read or write.
