the host when either number is exceeded. You can identify a standard data cartridge by
the black leader access door (see
FIGURE 1-4
). These data cartridges have a native
capacity of:
■
500 GB when formatted by a T10000A tape drive
■
1 TB when formatted by a T10000B tape drive
Note – A mount is defined as the tape drive threading the tape onto the take-up reel
and moving to the load point. Just inserting the data cartridge into the tape drive does
not constitute a mount.
Sport Data Cartridges
These are smaller capacity versions of standard data cartridges. These sport data
cartridges are under warranty for 15,000 mounts. These sport data cartridges are under
warranty for 200 full file writes (T10000A tape drive) to the media. The tape drive
issues a warning message to the host when either number is exceeded. You can identify
a sport data cartridge by the red leader access door (see
FIGURE 1-4
). These sport data
cartridges have a native capacity of:
■
120 GB when formatted by a T10000A tape drive
■
240 GB when formatted by a T10000B tape drive
VolSafe Data Cartridges
These are write-once data cartridges. They cannot be erased without destroying the
tape itself. The tape drive writes data on the tape and appends data to the cartridge on
free space until the cartridge is full. The tape drives may read these cartridges multiple
times (see the mount limitations for the standard data cartridges). These cartridges are
commonly used for information that must be stored for legal reasons and not altered.
You can identify these cartridges by a yellow leader access door (see
FIGURE 1-4
).
