Exabyte VXAtape cartridges are the perfect complement to VXA technology. They provide the necessary features needed for Exabyte VXA-1 and VXA-2 tape drives, autoloaders, and libraries. To take advantage of highly advanced VXA technology, you need an equally advanced data storage media. VXAtape uses Advance Metal Evaporated (AME) technology developed specifically to deliver the durability and capacity required for high-performance tape drives. VXAtape AME has significant advantages over conventional Metal Particle (MP) media.
