High-capacity tapes for high-powered applications We worked with IBM to develop the next generation of half-inch tape cartridge technology. And the result? Black Watch 3590 and 3590E cartridges. Offering even greater reliability for both drive and media, faster data transfer rates, and individual capacities up to 60GB (uncompressed) in a high-capacity tape with performance that won't let you down. Features: - Proprietary backcoating protects against static electricity, impressions and scratches, absorbs debris safely to decrease the chance of errors and minimizes inter-layer slippage for uniform signal output. - Advanced metal particulate media formulation with smaller, more densely packed particles high-quality recording. - Certified 128-track, 256-track, or 384-track recording capability features proprietary servo pattern to ensure accurate tracking and precise data reading/writing.
