Overview:
• Proprietary backcoating
Imation’s textured backcoating safeguards your data by repelling error causing static electricity. Imation’s backcoating also acts like a cushion to absorb wound-in debris safely to decrease the chance of data loss and minimizes inter-layer slippage for uniform signal output.
• Certified 128-track, 256-track and 384-track recording capability
Factory-written servo pattern keeps tape heads aligned for precise data reading/writing and helps ensure proper tracking over the entire length of the tape. Imation is the leader in servo-writing development, from the 3590 to the latest LTO formats and beyond.
• Patented Imation FlashGard™ Weld
Creates a "wall within a wall" to trap unwanted weld debris or "flash," keeping it away from the tape pack. This process enhances cartridge ruggedness and helps protect against drop damage.
• Imation Certified
Every single cartridge is tested to help ensure uncompromising reliability and out-of-the-box performance.
• Cleaning Cartridge
Magstar 3590 (Models “B”, “E” and “H”) drive compatible cleaning cartridge provides up to 100 cleanings.
