Product Highlights
HP Storage Media HP recommends that you use HP-branded cartridges in the MSL Tape Libraries to assure the highest level
of protection for your valuable data. The test program for HP media is the most thorough and
comprehensive in the industry.
All HP cartridges must satisfy an exhaustive battery of additional tests that relate directly to real life
situations, where real data and real businesses are at stake. The benefit of the HP brand specification for
media is consistent quality. Through the testing of thousands of HP drives and HP cartridges, the ideal
formulation for backup performance is defined and then continuously monitored. This hugely resource-
intensive process is unique to HP and affords deep insight into the HP+HP backup solution for a wide range
of environments and duty cycles. Your best choice for ease of support and maximum dependability is to
use HP-branded Ultrium cartridges at all times.
HP strongly encourages the use of bar code labels on tapes to track media and ensure optimum library
performance and usability. Correctly labeling your media will allow the library to quickly determine media
and drive compatibility.
