DAT DDS Media Overview
 

Quantum's DAT and DDS cartridges have MRS (Media Recognition System) to inform the drive that this medium is certified for the DAT/DDS system. Quantum's data cartridges have an extremely smooth base film giving the magnetic layer a mirror finish to reduce the spacing loss that causes errors. Thanks to their outstanding static resistance, these data cartridges prevent dust accumulation, maintaining their exceptionally low error rate over an extended working life. With capacity of up to 160GB, these easy-to handle compact cartridges provide cost-efficient backup and long-term archiving options, making it an ideal choice for your specific backup and archive applications.

   

  • High Capacity - Up to 72GB native and 160GB* compressed
  • Minimal Error Rate, Higher Efficiency - Although DAT and DDS cartridges have error correction, avoiding errors in the first place is the best solution. An extremely smooth base film and super-calendaring techniques give the magnetic layer a mirror finish to reduce the spacing loss that causes error. Combined with the tape's high output (+1.0dB), this results in an extremely low error rate. 
  • MRS (Media Recognition System) - All cartridges have MRS to inform the drive that this medium is certified for the DAT/DDS system.
