Ultrium Media

To ensure that your IBM Ultrium Tape Drive conforms to IBM's specifications for
reliability, use only IBM LTO Ultrium Tape Cartridges. You may use other
LTO-certified data cartridges, but they may not meet the standards of reliability
that are established by IBM. The IBM TotalStorage LTO Ultrium 400 GB Data
Cartridge cannot be interchanged with the media used in other IBM non-LTO
Ultrium tape products.
Figure 8 shows the IBM TotalStorage LTO Ultrium 400 GB Data Cartridge and its
