Product Highlights
Media and Drive Compatibility The DLT VS 40/80 GB tape drive utilizes industry standard DLT Type IV media. To provide investment protection for customers transitioning from the DLT 20/40 GB tape drive, the DLT VS 40/80 offers backward-read compatibility with DLT Type IV media written in DLT 20/40 format. Additionally, the DLT VS 40/80 offers both read and write compatibility with media written by the DLT1 tape drive, the same drive utilized by the DLT1 1280 SuperLoader. For customers looking for an easy upgrade path to higher capacity and performance drives in the future, all media written by both the DLT VS 40/80 and DLT1 tape drive can be read by the HP industry leading SDLT 110/220 and 160/320 tape drives (Carbon models only).
NOTE: To write to DLT Type IV data cartridges previously written by a DLT 20/40, DLT 35/70, and/or DLT 40/80, each data cartridge must first be degaussed before usage with a DLT VS 40/80 or DLT1 tape drive or device. For new, unused media, this step is not necessary.
