Choosing Data Cartridges
The SDLT 600 tape drive writes to Super DLTtape II data
cartridges. The Super DLTtape II cartridge is blue and has a
distinctive pattern molded into the plastic, along with the
DLTtape logo. The cartridge’s geometry is similar to
previous DLTtape cartridges to simplify integration with
existing tape library designs. Its keying feature, however,
ensures that it cannot be loaded into previous generation tape
drives.
The SDLT 600 tape drive includes a backward-read
compatibility feature that enables it to read (but not write to)
Super DLTtape I and DLTtape VS1 cartridges. The
following table lists the transfer rates for backward-read
cartridges.
