- The media

Designed to protect mission-critical data

The antistatic cartridge is designed to withstand both heat and shock. Furthermore, the robust cartridge has a revolving shutter mechanism to prevent the entry of dust. As a result both types offer a data integrity rating of more than 50 years.

Dual-head compatibility

The shutter has been specially designed to allow for multiple-pickup mechanisms in future iterations, thus enabling a smooth transition to drives offering far higher read/write speeds.

Rewritable and write-once media

Two types of single-sided media are available, rewritable and write-once, both offering 23GB of storage capacity. Rewritable media allows data to be rewritten and overwritten repeatedly. Write-once media cannot be reformatted and does not allow data to be overwritten, making it ideal for long-term archiving; as long as there is space available, data can always be added but never altered or delete
