Cartridge Environment Secures Data
The “Smart Gripper” technology securely
locks the media leader pin to help insure
positive tape loading-the cartridge ejects if a
nonconforming condition exists.
The drive also includes an embedded media
management feature for intelligent
diagnostics, tape alerts and an automatic
head cleaning brush for advanced preventive
maintenance and reduced down times.
