With the volume of information increasing exponentially, dependable 

recording and preservation of data is crucial to the successful operation

of a corporation. One of the most critical links in this process is the 

quality of the backup tape itself. The Quantum DLTtape

®

family of 

half-inch cartridge tapes, designed and formulated specifically for

Quantum DLTtape drives, delivers what you need: Proven performance

and durability.

Quantum DLTtape Technology takes advantage of the latest advances in

binder chemistry with its unique high-grade metal particle (MP) 

formulation. By combining both solid and liquid lubricants in the tape

binder system, tape and head wear are reduced while repelling airborne

particles that could affect read/write head performance. In addition, by

using a uniform particle shape, a dense binding system, a smooth 

coating surface, and a specially selected base film, Quantum DLTtape

half–inch cartridge tapes take advantage of shorter wave–length 

recording schemes to ensure read compatibility with future 

generations of DLTtape drives.

Quantum DLTtape half–inch cartridge tapes are manufactured using the 

highest level of quality control, thorough in–process certification, and 

frequent audits. Sample tapes from each lot are tested according to the

most stringent standards, including a write/read test using the interchange

format proposed by ANSI X3B5 and adapted by ECMA and ISO.

Reliability, and Durability
