Exabyte 8mm 225m 150GB AME Cartridge with SmartClean

The Exabyte 225m AME 8mm cartridges with SmartClean are Mammoth 2 (M2), 2nd-generation Mammoth tape technology, with a capacity of up to 60GB native and up to 150GB compressed. The Exabyte AME with SmartClean tape cartridges provides the highest level of data integrity and data availability in the pre-AIT tape range. Designed specifically for the Mammoth-2 (M2) drives, AME with SmartClean gives Mammoth-2 the capability to automatically clean the drive periodically and reduce the frequency with which the Mammoth cleaning cartridge must be used. Each cartridge with Exabyte’s SmartClean technology contains 2 meters of cleaning material with the AME media. This cleaning material removes elements that can cause read/write errors. A sophisticated monitoring system built into the Mammoth-2 drive determines when it’s time to clean and performs cleaning automatically.

SmartClean safely removes tape lubricant staining without causing head wear. Cleanings take place at the right time when needed, and won’t impact tape operations. With normal use, SmartClean reduces the need to execute separate cleaning actions with the Mammoth cleaning cartridge.
