IBM LTO1 Ultrium 1 Data Cartridge 08L9120

The IBM LTO1 Ultrium 1 tape cartridge 08L9120 has a native capacity of up to 100GB and a compressed capacity of up to 200GB. The IBM LTO Ultrium 1 data cartridge 08L9120 has a transfer rate of up to 20MB/sec while writing data in native format and up to 40MB/sec while writing data in compressed format. The IBM LTO1 Data Cartridge is backward compatible and therefore suitable for read and write in all LTO1 or LTO Ultrium 1 tape drives, suitable for read/write in all LTO2 or LTO Ultrium 2 tape drives and read only in all LTO3 or LTO Ultrium 3 drives.
For the option of LTO barcode labels attached to your tapes please see Application of Tape Barcode Labels for details.
Drives that use the IBM LTO Ultrium 1 data cartridges 08L9120 are recommended to use the IBM LTO Ultrium Universal Cleaning Cartridge 35L2086 to keep the drive clean.

* Includes a Linear Tape-Open Cartridge Memory (LTO - CM) chip that contains cartridge specific information to communicate with Ultrium tape drives during loading/unloading via a radio frequency component 
* Adheres to widely supported Linear Tape-Open (LTO) design High capacity By combining high storage capacity (100 GB native, 200 GB with 2:1 compression), performance, and reliability.
IBM LTO Ultrium Data Cartridges continue the IBM commitment to enhancing tape technology. IBM LTO Ultrium Data Cartridges are part of a long line of IBM data cartridges that help provide superior media quality and reliability for organizations around the world. Cost-effective design Increasing cartridge capacity and performance can help reduce the amount of equipment, space and human intervention required for daily tape operations. In addition, reducing the number of cartridges needed for backup and restore operations can help lower operational costs throughout the enterprise. Advanced LTO-CM chip IBM LTO Ultrium Data Cartridges, along with IBM Ultrium drives, support the Linear Tape-Open Cartridge Memory (LTO-CM) chip, which enables the IBM Ultrium drive to read and write to the data cartridge by using a radio frequency transmission. The LTO-CM enables fast, simultaneous transfer of cartridge-dependent data with IBM Ultrium drives during media load and unload cycles. This simultaneous exchange is designed to improve data access speeds by eliminating the need to read/write cartridge-dependent data from the media after it is loaded or before it is unloaded. 
IBM LTO CARTRIDGE STORAGE:
To prevent condensation and for long life, the IBM LTO 1 Ultrium Data Cartridges should only be operated in or stored in the following conditions. 
IBM LTO CARTRIDGE OPERATING ENVIRONMENT: 
10-45 degrees Celsius/Centigrade and 20-80% Humidity 
IBM LTO CARTRIDGE STORAGE ENVIRONMENT: 
16-35 degrees Celsius/Centigrade and 20-80% Humidity 
IBM LTO CARTRIDGE HANDLING: 
Handle the IBM LTO Ultrium cartridge carefully. It may be damaged or degraded if it is dropped. Labels should be placed on the front side of the cartridge in the recessed area. Do not put labels anywhere else on the cartridge as this can damage the drive or cause load errors. When not in use IBM LTO cartridges should be stored and transported in their plastic clam-shell case. Do not store cartridges in direct sunlight.
