Using the Appropriate Media
The Seagate DDS-4 and DAT 72 drives use data-grade DDS cartridges, which comply with ANSI
specifications listed in the “3.81 mm Helical-Scan Digital Computer Tape Cartridge for Information
Interchange,” ANSI X3B5/89-156 standard.
For optimum performance and maximum storage capacity, use MRS tape cartridges that correspond
to the format supported by your drive (see Table 6 on page 41). MRS cartridges have a series of
alternate opaque and clear stripes at the beginning of the tape. These stripes classify the media as
data-grade.
