Hello Manager,
I want to clear up some confusion over 4mm DAT tapes. I believe I have been
given some duff information. So I'll bounce my understanding off yourselves.
DAT tapes come in different certifications . Is the summary table below an
accurate picture.
Len of tape DDS DDS III DDS2
60m 1.3G 1.3G 1.3G
90m -- 2G 2G
120m -- -- 4G
The space listed is raw capacity before data compression is used.
With a large number of DAT drives on the market, is there a good manufacturer
of reliable DAT tapes out there ?
The reason for my question is that I have had a lot of problems with the HP
DDS2 tapes & would keep clear of them.
Is there a good manufacture , experience has taught me not just to go by the
tape certification.
Many thanks
Barry
