Page 26: Worm Function
“WORM” is an acronym for “Write Once Read Many”, a function that allows data to be written to the same place on a tape only once, but permits that data to be read from the tape for any number of times. The SDX-D1100V, SDX-D900V, SDX-D700V, and SDX-D500V drives support WORM cartridges. - Page 27 How to Write Data onto a WORM Cartridge As with a regular cartridge, there is no limit on how many times data can be read from a WORM cartridge. When writing data to a WORM cartridge, the data cannot be written to a portion of the tape that data has already been written.
