DAT 160 Data Cartridge




 

Package design and model number differ depending on the country.


High coercivity Ceramic Armor Metal Particles
Maxell’s original fine ceramic-armored metal particles boast high coercivity and superior remanence, providing long-term magnetic stability with superior durability and a very low error rate.

Thin and wide tape for higher capacity (DAT 160)
The DAT 160 cartridge utilizes Maxell’s unique 5.6µm-thick coated tape. Maxell has achieved a capacity of 160GB by using a widened tape.

Highly reliable compact data cartridge (DAT 160)
By re-engineering cartridge design based on its reliable 4mm DDS technology, Maxell has boosted capacity with the newly developed wide tape cartridge without losing the overall benefits of the compact DDS size.

Base film provides superior dimensional stability and smooth tape travel
DDS/DAT employs aramid base film, which has proved highly reliable in DDS-4. Despite the use of tape only 5.6μm thick, Maxell DAT/DDS data cartridge provides high rigidity and stable tape travel. In addition, it offers highly reliable data archiving performance.

Newly developed head cleaner (DAT 160)
The new wide head cleaning cartridge “DDS/DAT Cleaning Cartridge II” has been developed for use with DAT 160 to retain optimum data storage performance.

DDS/DAT format retains high compatibility between generations
DAT 160 drive is backward compatible with DAT 72 and DDS-4, allowing small and medium size businesses to upgrade and take advantage of this new technology, while maintaining access to previously recorded data. Backward compatibility also means that previous DDS technology investments are extended.
