Overland Tandberg LTO Ultrium Universal Cleaning Cartridge 434185

The Overland Tandberg LTO Ultrium Universal Cleaning Cartridge 434185 will clean all LTO Ultrium drives and library tape drives. The Overland Tandberg LTO Ultrium Drive Cleaning Tape will clean any brand of tape drive such as: LTO1 or LTO Ultrium 1 drives; LTO2 or LTO Ultrium 2 drives; LTO3 or LTO Ultrium 3 drives; LTO4 or LTO Ultrium 4 drives; LTO5 or LTO Ultrium 5 drives, LTO6 or LTO Ultrium 6 drives; LTO7 or LTO Ultrium 7 drives; LTO8 LTO Ultrium 8 drives; LTO9 or LTO Ultrium 9 drives and LTO10 or LTO Ultrium 10 drives. The Overland Tandberg LTO cleaning cartridge achieves 15-50 cleans, depending on the drive and the level of cleaning required each time it is used, as the drive's problems may sometimes trigger a 2nd clean. The drive cleaning process takes around 30 seconds. The Overland Tandberg LTO Ultrium cleaning tape cleans the heads that write and read data, as well as other components in the drive's tape path. This cleaning process improves the drive's performance and the quality and amount of data backed up to tape. As tape drives get older and out of spec, or as the tapes age, they require more cleaning, and this cartridge yields fewer cleans due to the extra cleaning required. This is a good sign that your tapes need to be retired, or, worse, the drive is failing.
