According to the findings of the business analysts, to excel in the respective business market, the organizations are dependent on their user and financial data. This means that availability of data is extremely important for every organization. Therefore the organizations must have a backup of their data to recover from any disastrous situation created due to data loss or theft.

Sony always comes with new innovative ideas and solutions to better serve its customers. Technological expertise of Sony has enabled the small sized DDS-4 tape cartridge to hold greater data amount of 20GB (native). Sony's exclusive helical scan process allows high density recording in a cost effective manner. Part number of this tiny Sony DDS4 tape is DGD150PWW.

Sony DDS-4 tape has been optimized for outstanding durability, smooth tape-to-head contact and low ownership cost. The durability and media performance level of DDS-4 DGD150PWW backup tape has been raised with the incorporation of Sony's exclusive high-cross linkage (HCL) binder. The HCL binder assures tape longevity, and raises the resistance of tape media to bear the ...

DDS-4 backup cartridges of other leading tape manufacturing companies are also listed here:

IBM DDS-4 tape (59H4456)
Dell DDS-4 tape (09W083)
Quantum DDS-4 tape (CDM40)
Imation DDS 4 tape (40963)
HP DDS-4 data tape (C5718A)
Maxell DDS-4 tape (200028)

When the tape is being rolled onto the reel, the torque elevates along the diameter. The torque also affects the performance during the fast-rewind and forward searching processes. Therefore to overcome this problem, Sony has re-designed lower sheet, hubs and the lower shell of the DDS data tape cartridge. Redesigned lower shell has enhanced the robustness of the DDS-4 backup tape. That is why the recording media of DDS-4 DGD150PWW backup tape offers exceptional resistance to any kind of deformation caused by external stress.

Sony uses two textured sheets into which the tape reel is sandwiched. These textured sheets enable smooth and fast winding of tape reel. Sony has used a special hard plastic material for making the lid of DDS-4 tape cartridge. This provides protection to the tape against mechanical shocks or bumps. The tape reel of Sony DDS-4 DGD150PWW cartridge comprises of 2 coated layers. One is the non-magnetic layer and other is the ultra fine magnetic layer. Non-magnetic layer assists in stable tape traveling, as it makes the surface smoother. The other magnetic layer increases the strength and frequency of output signals.

Strong output signals are very helpful in high density recordings. DDS-4 drive can record compressed 20 GB information on small sized DDS-4 DGD150PWW backup tape. High speed DDS drives feature helical scan mechanism. DDS tape drives do not linearly record the data on the tape reel, but instead it diagonally records the data. Therefore the helical recording system of DDS tape format assists in ultra high density recordings at an affordable price. Magnetic particles' size of Sony DDS-4 media is many times smaller than other backup tapes. The smaller size results in greater storage capacity, uniform tape surface and reduced tape thickness.
