Data protection and preservation is the top priority of all the organizations around the globe. Companies are now focusing on higher capacity storage mediums that can provide them instant access, scalability, greater read/write reliability and economical backup solutions. Tape storage technology is more cost effective and advantageous in comparison to other data storage mediums.

Quantum, a leading manufacturer and technical expert of data storage technology has consistently provided its users with economical, higher capacity and durable backup tape solutions. Quantum SDLT II tape cartridges are designed to deliver excellent results with the SDLT-600 enterprise class tape drives. SDLT tape cartridge delivers lowest cost per gigabyte with enhanced 600GB compressed and 300GB native capacity. Super DLT is the extended version of fast speed DLT format. Advanced eMP60 media technology, which also features in the DLT tape format, has been incorporated in the new Quantum SDLT-II tape cartridge.

Latest technologies have been employed in the high speed Quantum SDLT drives, which helps to provide the users with reliable ...
... and long term data protection features. DLT was the first tape format in which dual coated media was introduced. Quantum has used metal particle media in the production of DLT tape cartridges. Metal particle is the basis of DLT tape storage format. For the production of SDLT tape cartridges, AMP (advanced metal particle) media was employed by Quantum. Quantum SDLT II tape cartridges offer higher coactivity and improved data protection features than the conventional metal particle tape cartridges.

SDLT II tape cartridges of other brands are also available in the market. These SDLT-II tapes feature all the reliable and high performance technologies of SDLT technology. I have listed here some of the high performance Super DLT II tape brands:

Fuji SDLT II tape, 26300201
HP Super DLT II tape, Q2020A
Imation SDLT II tape, 16988
Maxell Super DLT II backup tape, 183715
Quantum SDLT II tape, MRS2MQN01

Remanence and coactivity of SDLT 600 tape drive have been enhanced by Quantum to increase the strength of read back signals and ensure stronger particle orientation. Uniform tape surface of Quantum SDLT-II tape results in impressive signal to noise ratio. Highly intelligent Quantum SDLT 600 tape drive has the ability to address the very narrow data tracks during the write process and ensures enhanced dimensional stability. Thinner magnetic layer of Quantum SDLT II tape helps to lower the media noise and friction.

EMP60 technology has been employed to the SDLT tape format to support the future generations of Super DLT backup tape technology. In eMP60 technology, dual layer coating is used. eMP60 technology is also very useful in supporting high density recordings and assures durable head passes of 1 million. Metal particles of Quantum SDLT-2 tape media are uniform in size & shape. This uniformity of metal particles' size and shape assures superior data integrity in high density recordings. Smooth tape surface of Quantum Super DLT II tape assures extended head life and stable data tracking. SDLT 600 tape drive provides high class performance and media robustness during heavy duty cycles.
