For reliable data storage, the quality of the media is every bit as important as the quality of the tape drive. Formulated specifically for Exabyte MammothTape technology drives, Advanced Metal Evaporated (AME) tape offers expanded recording capacity and low abrasivity, reducing mechanical wear. AME magnetic material is vertically aligned. This unique orientation and the absence of binder components on the media enable AMEs higher capacity and superior signal strength. AMEs specially formulated backcoating dramatically reduces the build-up of static electricity and debris, greatly reducing the chance of read/write errors. With varying capacities and a lifetime warranty, AME is truly superior media.
